About Cara

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi! I've been babysitting since I was 14 and have cared for kids of all ages. I graduated college with a degree in psychology and chemistry, and I'm now in Physician Assistant school with hopes of working in pediatrics one day. I'm CPR certified and have experience working as both a nursing assistant and a medical assistant. My schedule is a bit busy with classes from about 8 AM-3 or sometimes 5 p.m. most weekdays, but I'd love to help families out in the evenings (perfect for date nights!) and on weekends as my availability allows. A little about me: I played basketball in college, love spending time outdoors hiking or at the beach, and enjoy yoga. I also adore my two dogs (a pug and a pitbull/lab mix) and love spending time with family and friends.

Cara was great with our three boys! They loved her and want her to come back.
