About Kara

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi! My name is Kara. I'm originally from Connecticut but have been living here for a little under 3 years now. I currently live in Andersonville and love it. I've been a babysitter since middle school, and a nanny for 3 families. I also have experience working as an aide and paraprofessional to children with special needs; specifically Autism. I majored in art education in college and have a VERY creative artistic side! I love teaching art and doing fun creative projects with kids. I have volunteered in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and all over the U. S. teaching art and giving out food/clothes/aid, and am conversational in some Spanish. I love playing, teaching and working with children and have experience with those of all ages from infancy to high school. CPR certified, previously a court mandated reporter when I was a paraprofessional as well. I like to inspire children to use their creativity and have fun, and not always have to rely on tv and video games! I currently do improve and sketch comedy, as well as comedic acting all over the city, and love using my theatrical side to spark and engage in a child's imaginative side and play or entertain! Being an improviser has helped me learn how important it is to think fast, listen, and pay attention, all skills which have definitely helped me in childcare as well! I have experience also being a household manager in charge of chores like laundry and cooking, helping with homework and driving to activities. Letters of recommendation, references, and background check/driving record check all available per request!
