Meet Cara
- Certified Nursing Assistant
- Comfortable with pets
I have been babysitting children of all ages including infants, toddlers, and young children since 2014. Specifically I ensure a safe environment, prepare and give meals, bath and dress children, complete housework, and participate in various fun activities to keep children occupied. Multiple families I have provided child care for have had dogs and pools, so I am experienced in that sense. I also have worked as a recreation cheerleading coach and dance assistant with children of all ages as well. For two summers in high school I worked as a summer camp counselor, where I was paired with children from the age of 4-13. There I organized games and activities to ensure children had a safe and enjoyable summer. Currently I have completed 3/4 years of nursing school at the University of Connecticut. For the last year I have worked as a Patient Care Assistant at Hartford Hospital in Read more CT. I am energetic, patient, and creative when working with children.
