About Kathleen

Experience: 10 yrs

As a paid childcare provider my career began at age 13 caring for small children in the neighborhood as well as for vacationers to my bucolic hometown in VT. I entered Boston College as a Music and Theater double major before switching to Sociology and Psychology. I completed one year at the Graduate School of Social Work with an emphasis on child life issues and early childhood development. Due to financial reasons I suspended my enrollment in grad school and worked full-time as a nanny for infant twins. I worked closely with their early intervention team to address cognitive and physical development issues. I continued to work with infants as well as multiples as my specialty but broadened my scope to all children ranging in age from newborn to 15 years of age working one-on-one or in group settings up to 12 children at a time. To supplement my hours as a nanny, I began teaching SAT prep with Kaplan and worked as a Mad Science teacher for after school and private events.

Bevin is amazing!!! Bevin gave our kid W so much love. W had such fun Bevin going to storytimes, swim classes, farmer’s markets, playgrounds, puppet shows, car washes, kids’ museums, and more. Bevin is so patient. Bevin gave W lots of time to play with the controls on her car. Bevin gave W lots of soothing in transitions. W has been super resilient in moving to a different preschool and for longer day there. I’m sure our kid is brave because Bevin made him feel safe while also supporting him to try new things. Bevin is an awesome communicator. Los Angeles traffic is terrible of course and Bevin always let us know if they were stuck in traffic coming back. When W felt scared at a swim class, Bevin took W for just fun visits to the pool and W gained confidence to go back to class. Bevin advocated for W, for example letting us know in the kindest way if she thought adding dance class before swim class might be too much. If W didn’t want to leave a playground at end of day, Bevin checked with us if we wanted to meet them there or bring him home. Bevin is so gentle and observant so of course we asked her to take care of our dog when we had emergency travel. Bevin is playful. W has so many games he plays with us he learned from Bevin. When we first talked to Bevin on the phone, she asked if there was anything that would help us trust her with our child. It is a big thing trusting a new person to take care of our kid. If you are looking for someone to trust with your baby, look no further! Bevin talked so much with W, including about feelings. No doubt W being so chatty and able to talk about feelings is big thanks to Bevin. Bevin is joyful, authentic, and a joy to be around. Can’t recommend Bevin highly enough!
