About me

My name is Kara Schindler and I’m a 23-year-old graduate of Colgate University, where I majored in History and also studied English and Creative Writing.

I grew up in Chatham, NJ, where I was a straight-A student, a year-round athlete (swimming, tennis, field hockey, lacrosse, track & field, and more), and an active volunteer in my community.

I have been babysitting and nannying for over 10 years now and am hoping to go back to school to pursue Early Education or a similar field in the near future. Despite the instability of graduating from college during the height of the pandemic, I found that my passion for working with children and their families has remained incredibly strong and important to me.

I have always known that my greatest strength is my ability to interact and engage with people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. I have worked in formal professional settings, including offices and customer service jobs, but no occupation has ever brought me as much joy and fulfillment as working with children, learning from them, watching them grow, and getting the opportunity to be a part of their lives.

As a responsible and well-mannered young adult, I find that connecting with children and families not only brings me a great deal of joy, but also has allowed me to harness my creativity, interpersonal skills, and communication abilities to their fullest potential.
