Hello! My name is Cara, I am a single mother of a strong, independent, beautiful, smart and caring 16-year-old daughter. We live in a beautiful home in Kiowa. We are animal LOVERS! We currently have 3 sweet dogs, 2 cats, 4 horses, 4 mini horses, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats. I am a mellow, willing, hard working and helpful person. I am really good at solving problems and I like challenges. My specialty is children and adults special needs, but I don't mind helping out in any area of home or family needs. Previous employment and experience: * I worked for Jefferson county for 13 years of my adult career. I worked with all levels of kiddos with special needs to typical kids. * Was a nanny for multiple families during summer breaks. * Was a house keeper for a period of time. * Was a host home for a period of time as well. I am looking forward to helping you out with any needs you may have.

    Cara is absolutely wonderful in every way!!! She really goes out of her way to make sure my daughter is happy, learning and cared for at her home and she's always extremely pleasant and easy to talk to. Cara has a kind and loving nature that my daughter and I just adore and I'm comforted when my daughter is with her because I know Cara will care for her just as I would! She is worth every penny spent!
