"Kara is such a loving and nurturing caregiver. My daughter immediately took to her and made me feel so comfortable leaving her in Kara's care. Kara's communication is perfect. She gives me an overview of what her and my daughter did for the day and what she ate. Kara has been reliable since day one and I can always count on her; which is the best quality I could ask for in any caregiver."

"Kara was absolutely amazing with my son. She came prepared with fun activities and followed a schedule. She took the time to keep me informed of eatings habits, naps, any new learned things. My son grew fond of her quickly and enjoyed the one on one play mixed with learning that she provided. Kara has great communication, is reliable, creative, and made me feel comfortable with her being our nanny, immediately. I cant thank her enough for the time spent and grateful we found her when we did!"

"Kara is amazing with children. She keeps them engaged, and encourages learning while keeping it fun. She’s incredibly creative, especially when it comes to exercise -
Activities were presented as games, making my kids more inclined to be interested. She’s been a nanny for both of my children, and they love her like an Aunt."

The most important part about being a nanny...

It's tough to pick just one! One child told me detailed plans of how he was going to build a home for me with the bubble blaster he would get for his birthday in the backyard of their home so I would always be there. He also warned me I would have to deal with the river monster but he would help me and make sure I had lots of blankets, juice, and cartoons to watch. So darling <3
