About Kathleen
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm Kathleen! I am warm and genuine and devoted to providing optimal care to my clients. My care provision experience is extensive. I have had multiple live-in nanny experiences (both local and abroad), various part-time child care positions, and several older adult care positions in the past. During my undergraduate college career, I took on a primary caretaker role for a student peer with cerebral palsy. I have learned immensely what it means to be a compassionate and engaging care/childcare professional during the past 10 years of my life. Hoping to encounter many more opportunities. I place high value communication, getting outdoors, creating safe inclusive spaces, and encouraging all to remain playful and creative as we grow - no matter our age! Some of my personal hobbies include photography, sailing, soccer, hiking, and acrylic painting. I am currently employed at a Physical Therapy clinic working as a Physical Therapy Aide.
Most recent review
After five years of coaching Kathleen in voice, I began to hire her to take care of our three children, our oldest son and our boy/girl twins, six years his junior. Kathleen was able to balance all of their needs and keep each child engaged and happy particularly by actively playing with them and pursuing each individual interest. My husband and I felt she could be a great help on our family sailing vacation and she assisted him with sailing on our cruise and also kept our three children safe and supported and cheerful through calm and stormy seas-literally. She is steady, compassionate, patient and strong. We hired her for a second cruise the following summer. We recommend her highly for child care work because of her many gifts and interests/abilities knowing she will share and seek out those interests in others and enrich every family she assists. Her kindness, responsibility and sensitivity are also qualities that make her an exceptional care giver/companion.
