About Kara

Experience: 10 yrs

Now Available for Overnight Newborn Care Hi! I'm Kara, and I'd love to support your family. I have 20+ years of experience working with children, starting as a teen helping with my mom's home daycare. I've worked in homes, schools, daycare centers, and an emergency youth shelter. I was a full-time nanny for over 15 years (no longer full-time), and for the past 8 years, I've specialized as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) and for 5 years as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. I offer overnight newborn care, doula support, and occasional babysitting based on availability. Rates vary by service; NCS and Doula care start at $45/hr. I look forward to supporting your growing family!
