Kathryn S.

After having horrible experiences with our first two nannies, we were so relieved to come in contact with Kathryn. She fit our needs perfectly and our daughter loves her, which is very important to us. We wanted someone we could trust, rely on, and someone who could assure us that our child was in good hands when we were away from home. I remember how nervous, scared, and skeptical I was about having to go back to work after almost a year of staying at home with my baby girl. I didn't know what to think about just hiring a stranger to come in our home and take care of her. When we had the interview with Kathryn, a lot of that went away. It was very difficult trying to find someone that was okay with working minimal hours each week, who had personal experience and it was extremely stressful for me. I wanted to find someone who absolutely adored children, someone who could become a part of the family so that we could be worry free. When we met Kathryn, we felt comfortable with her right away. I remember her telling us that she'd love to help, that she understood what we were going through and she told us that she could make children smile even at their worst times and that was great to hear. She fixed snacks for our daughter, gave her baths, helped pick up around the house, dropped mail off for us, shopped for us, and even cleaned our kitchen when it was messy. She always offers to help out with errands and chores. A reason why our daughter loves her so much is because Kathryn is always making sure she is having fun, whether it be reading and playing at the house, or going out to the park or riding in the mall carousel. I really appreciate that because that is what I do with her when I'm with her. I try to keep my daughter learning and stimulated as much as I can because I just love to see her happy and excited. Even though we don't need her to babysit nearly as much as before, she always makes herself available for us because we have just grown that close now. I hope she stays in our lives because she has had a big, positive impact on us, and I wouldn't want to have to look for another sitter.
