About Kara

Experience: 3 yrs

My journey as a caregiver spans both professional and deeply personal experiences. As a nanny, I have had the privilege of nurturing children from infancy through their early school years, creating environments where they feel safe, valued, and supported. I have built strong bonds with the families I work with, often becoming a trusted figure in their children's lives, someone who guides, listens, and encourages growth and independence. Being a nanny has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of empathy, skills I carry into every aspect of my caregiving. On a more personal level, I have also navigated the challenges of caring for a parent living with dementia. This experience has given me a profound understanding of the emotional and practical complexities that families face when supporting a loved one with cognitive decline. It has deepened my compassion, strengthened my problem-solving skills, and taught me the value of dignity, patience, and consistency in care.
