Hello, my name is Kara and I have over twenty years of experience as a professional career Nanny. I was in my last position for eight years caring for eight and eleven year old boys and I also held a part-time position caring for three and five year old boys. I have extensive experience caring for multiple children at a time from toddlers to teens. In addition, I taught second grade, tutored students from preschool through college, Bachelor of Science degree, Suffolk University, Journalism/English (double major), volunteered for eleven years teaching CCD from fourth through eleventh grade and experience teaching and caring for special needs children and teens on the Autism Spectrum (ASD). In this capacity, I was responsible for driving to and from school, schedule management, arranging outings, activities, play dates and appointments and accompanying the children to them, homework assistance, meal planning, cooking, food shopping, errands, light housekeeping, Read more children’s laundry, organizing clothing (season/size), maintaining stock and supplies and pet care. I am kind, compassionate, patient, energetic, multitasker, super organized and proactive. As a dedicated professional, I understand the importance of reliability, and it has always been my motto that "I am the back-up" and calling in is not a luxury or an option. I can offer you a long-term, flexible schedule that includes evenings, overnights, weekends and travel. I have knowledge of CPR and First Aid, Covid/Flu vaccinated, United States citizen, non-smoker and I have a reliable car. I appreciate the time you took to read about my experience and I’m available to start ASAP. I look forward to speaking with you to further discuss the position and I would be happy to furnish you with several excellent references upon request. Thank you! Sincerely, Kara Bonita

Kara B.'s reply
Hi Jeehyea, 2.0 rating is misleading as I have never worked for you. It’s not a reflection of my impeccable work ethic. I have stellar references from every family I had the joy to work for. We had a mutually wonderful exchange on a phone interview. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to meet. I apologized in a previous text. Thank you!
