About Kathleen

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing a child's growth and supporting families through reliable, dedicated care is my greatest passion. With many years of experience, newborn to youth, I bring a calm, patient, and creative approach to every interaction. My background in early child development coursework allows me to engage children from infancy through their pre-teen years with meaningful activities. Whether we are solving puzzles, playing board games, or exploring educational apps, I focus on making every moment impactful. I am comfortable enforcing your household rules and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and crafts. I maintain open communication through your preferred method to keep you updated on your child's day. Since I am a safe and experienced driver, I am happy to handle school runs or outings. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family's daily life.

Kathleen is kind, caring, patient, punctual, and considered a member of our family. She has provided numerous years of excellent childcare needs for our family. She gave each one of our 3 children activity time - indoor & outdoor, taught life skills, assisted with light housekeeping, errands, appointments, grocery shopping, and provided safety at all times. You will be very pleased if you hire her to take care of your child (children).
