About Kathleen
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm a kind, loving, nurturing, and compassionate nanny, and children absolutely love me. I previously cared for infants, toddlers and pre-K children in a private early learning & daycare environment. I have taken half a dozen professional childcare courses & recently renewed my CPR/First Aid/ AED certifications. I've had a background check/fingerprinted for daycare. I now care for children in home settings. Before childcare, I had been employed by a physics society for 37 years with the last 28 years working in their IT dept. I'm intelligent, reliable, honest. I strive to encourage, praise, and build their skills as well as their self-confidence and self-esteem. I also enjoy laughing, using our imaginations, going on walks, playing indoors and out, building, arts & crafts, board games, and reading books. I simply adore infants and children of all ages, and encourage learning in a safe environment. My most loved professional experience is caring for & loving children.
Most recent review
We had the absolute pleasure of having Kathleen as our nanny over the past few months, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She is kind, patient, and incredibly loving — the kind of person every parent hopes to find to help care for their children. With three busy kids involved in multiple after-school activities each day, things can get hectic, but she handled everything with grace and calm. She was always punctual and reliable, never once missing a beat. Whether it was managing the kids’ schedules, helping with our dog, or simply creating a warm and nurturing environment, she went above and beyond every day. Any family would be lucky to have her. She quickly became a part of our family, and we are so grateful for the care and dedication she showed. Highly, highly recommend!
