A little bit about me
Hi my name is Cara and I’m a 20 year old college student at Cal state San Marcos. I love kids and have always been great with them. I was a nanny for a family with two kids for over a year. I would work 6 days a week. Some of my task included cooking, helping with homework, playing, and driving around the kids. I’m very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I also have exsperice with a 2 year old and 5 year old where I worked 40 hours a week with them and enjoyed every second of it. I really became intertwined with the family and learned a lot on how to be the best nanny I can be!

A little bit about me
College graduate with experience caring for children of all ages. Former summer camp counselor for middle school students and counselor for elementary school aged children with special needs. When somebody needed cheering up or someone to have a genuine conversation with, I always felt confident to step up. Recently, my 9 and 6 year old cousins have been enjoying time spent with me playing with toys after their schoolwork is taken care of.
