As a mother, I have a natural love for children. I am highly experienced and enjoy planning activities and meals for them as well. I cook, clean, entertain and educate. As a child, my mom ran the biggest in home child care center in our small town during the evenings for 2nd shift workers and during the summers. I learned so much her early on. I am fun and energetic and everybody loves Miss Kara! I have experience with ages 0-17 as well as children and adults with special needs. I am able to provide child care on my off days from my regular job and on most weekends! I have been babysitting seriously since I was 15 years old, after being inspired from "The Babysitters Club." The rest is history. I have worked as a elementary tutor as well.

Kara was fantastic! We were visiting from out of town and she watched our infant and toddler one evening in a last minute situation. She was very responsive and trustworthy. Highly recommend her!
