Kathy cared for my daughter most frequently during the summer months. During this time, my daughter participated in a summer swim league, and Kathy consistently transported her to and from early‑morning practices. She also took her to afternoon swim meets, where I would meet them after work. Kathy was always dependable and attentive, ensuring my daughter was safe, supported, and on time for all her commitments. Beyond transportation and supervision, Kathy actively supported my daughter’s academic and personal development. She regularly encouraged learning through workbook practice, reading together, and trips to the library. Kathy thoughtfully incorporated enriching activities into their time together, helping my daughter grow into a well‑rounded and confident young person during her early teenage years. As a retired teacher, Kathy naturally took on a mentoring role. My daughter admired her greatly, viewing her both as a teacher and a trusted role model. She formed a close bond with Kathy and looked up to her as a grandmother‑like figure. Kathy’s patience, dedication, and genuine care made a lasting and positive impact on my daughter.
