About Kathleen
Experience: 10 yrs
68 yr old retired teacher is available to care for your children. I love caring for newborns on up to teens. I taught full time junior high and substitute taught from preschool to high school. I also worked for a child care service in Palm Springs, CA for 20 years. I previously worked two Sunday mornings a month at my church nursery also. Having my own 2015 passenger van, I can come to your home or hotel or vacation home in Austin, TX. I will take wonderful care of your children, read books, play games, and rock your baby, make meals. And if you have pets, that is no problem. I can take care of them too! I charge $20 for one or two children and $25 an hour for more than two. I'm also available for overnights. I do not do nanny care jobs on a full time, regular basis, only drop in type care, temporary, part time

Kathleen watched my 4 month old daughter for 2 consecutive half days one weekend and then had my 4 year old daughter and my 4 month old the weekend after. She is very punctual, reliable and has a genuine affinity for children. She is super easy to work with and my kids had fun and seemed really happy and relaxed after her time with them. She had the kids at the hotel most of the time, where they walked, swam and played in the room. She brought puzzles for my oldest, which were a huge hit. She also met me at the horse show one day and strolled my infant around while I was riding. I'll be back again this weekend and feel very fortunate and relieved to be leaving my children with such a capable caregiver. A few of my friends saw her with my baby when I wasn't around and went out of their way to comment to me on how good Kathleen was with her.
