Hi! I'm a TV News Producer and mom to two princess-loving toddlers. I stepped away from the TV industry last year to focus on raising my girls (and to finally ditch that Manhattan commute)! I’m a mom so I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust to care for your children when needed. I take that responsibility seriously and will always make thoughtful, smart, and quick decisions to ensure your little ones are safe, happy, and thriving. About me: I grew up in Fair Lawn and now live in Hawthorne with my husband and daughters, where we love being a part of the Hawthorne community. I am extremely energetic and have a nurturing nature that has carried with me through more than 20 years of consistent childcare experience. Running a newsroom also helped my organizational and management skills shine… and I can plan a Read more birthday party or major event in my sleep!! Since I’m not working in the industry right now, my availability is wide open to help families in need of a helping hand. I also made my Instagram (@carasayssmile) public so please feel free to dig deeper into my life beyond these four paragraphs!
