I'm an energetic babysitter with about 13 years experience. I have much experience in early childhood teaching with an AS in Early Childhood Education. I have passed all background checks to work in the preschool setting at three different local establishments over the past 8 years. I love to incorporate music (I play guitar) and outdoor exercise with varied activities when caring for children and I would love to meet your family see if we would be a good fit! Thanks!

Kara was one of the best nannies I could’ve ever asked for! She was great with my two boys from keeping them active to helping with homework. Kara really cares for children and loves what she does and it shows! Good sitters are hard to come by and Kara isn’t just a sitter she’s a caregiver and teacher. If you want someone who cares then you want Kara!
