About Kara

Experience: 10 yrs

I have a strong motherly instinct. I have been described more like an aunt than a nanny or employee & like to be treated more as a family member that is genuinely there to help in raising your children. I have been a nanny for over 20 years. I love taking the children on outings and exposing them to positive experiences, age appropriate activities & socialization. I am caring, nurturing, loving, compassionate, fun & safety conscious. I am fair but firm in setting boundaries; as we all know children benefit best from boundaries, routine & set rules. I have worked for many families & make it a point to remain in the children's lives long after they have outgrown me as it is for their best benefit (mine too :)) as we create such a strong & loving bond. I love children & I am looking for my next best new family to incorporate into my life. It takes a village & I'm looking forward to helping in raise your little ones with respect, manners, etiquette and lots of messy play & FUN play dates!

Kara has been a great nanny for our 7-year-old son for the past eight months. She also takes care of our 2-year-old Golden Retriever for part of the day. She helps our son with schoolwork and takes him to after school activities including sports, parks, the library, etc. She organizes age-appropriate activities that challenge his growing independence while maintaining proper supervision. She is punctual and communicates clearly. Our son enjoys spending time with her and we feel comfortable with him in her care.
