About Kara
Experience: 10 yrs
I've been a nanny for 14 years. I have worked with many different families. When I started on Care. com, I had been a nanny for two elementary school girls for 5 years during the summer months. While getting my college degree, I worked with a few children with autism doing therapy in their home. After college, I moved to St. Paul, MN and was a nanny for a beautiful family and their baby girl, who I'm still very close with; I visit and help out whenever I'm back in Minnesota. I moved to Ireland for my masters degree, but visit Minnesota a few months out of the year. Over the years, I've babysat all age groups and find immense joy in the company of both children. I'll be home in Minnesota for the next while and would love to help out your family if you need child minding or a date night!

I have trusted Kara to care for my children for 4 summers. This included transporting them to and from many activities. She is dependable and reliable. Her flexibility helped me out greatly. Kara has a sweet and pleasant personality. My kids love her and looked forward to seeing her every day. :)
