Hi, I'm Kara — a highly experienced caregiver, nurse, nutritionist, mother of three, and lifelong nurturer with a passion for helping families thrive. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a degree in Dietetics (Food Science and Human Nutrition). I’ve worked as a school nurse, public health nurse, hospital nurse, and case manager. I’ve also worked as an independent nutritionist, helping many mothers and fathers discover practical, nourishing ways to feed their families with confidence. Before raising my own children, I was a dedicated nanny for many years. I bring a unique combination of warmth, structure, creativity, and energy into every home. I was raised on a farm in Iowa, started babysitting early, and still have a close relationship with the family I nannied for growing up. My life is rooted in service, faith, and joyful homemaking — I love preparing homemade, nutritious meals and also enjoy gourmet Read more cooking. Managing a home, gardening, and creating a peaceful, well-run household are things I truly enjoy. I also run an apothecary business, handcrafting herbal products for natural health and wellness. I’m highly active and in very good shape — certified in Pilates and passionate about yoga, hiking, biking, and outdoor adventures. I love engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, whether that’s crafts and science experiments with younger ones or outdoor excursions, baking, art projects, or life-skills support with tweens and teens. I enjoy connecting with older children through meaningful conversation, encouragement, and helping them build independence and confidence. I understand that every child has a unique personality — from energetic explorers to quiet thinkers — and I’m flexible in meeting them where they are. While I’m not an expert in electronics or gaming, I’m happy to learn what they enjoy or provide gentle structure around healthy boundaries and screen time when needed. Whether we’re planning a nature outing, talking through a tough day, or just making a great meal together, I bring creativity, enthusiasm, and patience into everything I do. If you're looking for someone who can care deeply, move quickly, manage your household, and nurture your children’s minds and hearts — I’d love to support your family.

Trust & safety
