About Kara

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Kara! I am 26 and live in the Hudson Valley, and I'm a recent college graduate. I am currently a 1:1 aide for a 3-year-old with special needs at a preschool. I have been a teacher's assistant over the past few years and have tons of background working with children through summer camps, teaching preschool, and babysitting. I am comfortable with all ages. I am able to provide homework help, meal prep, housework, transportation and anything else you may need. I have a clean driving record of 10 years. I am very detail-oriented, punctual, reliable, communicative, and dedicated to the people I work for. Most importantly, I am fun! When I work with children, I focus on purposeful and engaged play that will help them with their development and skills. I am available most weekends, and after 4:00 p.m. during the week. If this sounds like a good match for you seeking a caregiver, please leave me a message! I look forward to hearing from you.

Kara is a wonderful caregiver! She has watched my 3 boys (2yo-6yo) regularly and actively engages with them during their time together. She is reliable and kind, and has been wonderful to work with. She provides age-appropriate levels of play and the children love her. We could not be happier with Kara!
