About Kara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello there! My name is Kara. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I currently live in the Eugene area of Lane County, OR. I have recently retired from teaching/Directorship in early childhood education to focus more on personal endeavors and a stronger quality of life after nearly 30 years in the professional industry. I am currently looking for a long term nanny position where I can utilize my knowledge and aptitude in child development OUTSIDE of formal classroom setting. My ideal family would be flexible and open to a balanced approach to private early education; incorporating strong daily routines alongside developmentally appropriate play based curriculum filled with nature and community based exploration. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your families needs : ) Smiles, Kara

We went through an interview process with Kara twice. Both times she seemed very motivated and invested in our family and both times at the last minute abruptly elected not to take the full time position, citing "personal items" she wanted to attend to. Would just be cautious about investing early in this candidate.
