Hi there, my name is Kara Kipling. I have more than 6 years of babysitting experience under my belt; having babysat for multiple families (of which I can provide references). Caring for children has always been one of my main interests. On top of the babysitting, I've taken classes in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, so I have experience in babysitting for diverse families, being very adaptable to their unique needs. I am STARS certified (as well as CPR and AED certified), so I'm knowledgeable about Child Care Basics and know how to react in emergency situations as well. I tend to be very good with kids and feel happy when I can make another child happy. I am a High School Graduate and have my license and a reliable vehicle. I love pets as well, so that would not be a concern either. Thank you for reading and Read more for your consideration. Have a wonderful day!
