Hello! My name is Kelly. I'm a career nanny with 30+ years experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked with children who have special needs. I've volunteered at the Santa Clara County Children's Shelter in San Jose, California. I'm registered with Trustline and have a criminal and MVR background check through Care. I'm First Aid and Infant/Adult CPR certified. I'm also up-to-date on all immunizations. I will provide excellent references and letters of recommendation upon request. I look forward to taking the children to neighborhood parks, libraries for story time, amusement parks, museums, zoos, and various classes (art, music, gymnastics, sports). I consider it a privilege to take care of children and enjoy spending time with them while teaching them new things, giving them opportunities to explore their world and be social with other children. I love supporting them in their lives, interests, and activities, all while forming a lasting bond with them.

Kelly has been an exceptional nanny for our family, caring for our two children (now 4 and 14 months) since our oldest was 8 months old. She is incredibly dependable, professional, and always arrives early and prepared.

Kelly brings structure and consistency to our children’s days—handling naps, meals, and transitions with calm confidence and excellent judgment. She is fully engaged and genuinely loves our kids like her own.

She prioritizes reading, creative play, and age-appropriate development, often bringing her own materials and activities. She also makes sure they get plenty of outdoor time, trips to parks and libraries, and we completely trust her.

Kelly is reliable, nurturing, and truly outstanding. We recommend her without hesitation.

I will really love to share my wonderful experience with Kelly. She is a professional, considerate, and children-loving nanny. Regarding her professionalism, she let me know about any thing that could be dangerous to kids and discussed with me how to avoid those dangers. For examples, fastening the television to avoid it fall. Using non-skid stairs thread tape. Hide anythings that could be swallowed by my son. She knows how to schedule daily schedule for my son. She spent proper time for story reading, going out for walk, and play games with my son. She is an organized person. She always keeps my house neat and tidy. My house is still organized when she left everyday. Lastly, she really loves my son. Taking care of son was not just a job for her. She enjoyed the time and brought happiness to my family. My son had a wonderful time with her.

Kelly has cared for our 11-month-old daughter for the last 6 months; the only reason for the short duration is because we decided to move out of state! Our daughter loves Kelly, always greeted her with huge smiles and clapping, and it was obvious every day what a good time they had together. Kelly is incredibly prompt, and has been great about spending time on walks, at the park, and at the library, which are all things that were important to us. She prioritizes safety and cleanliness (along with all the giggles and hugs), and has been a wonderful caregiver for us. It was always evident how much she cared about our daughter, which was such a comfort to me as I transitioned back to work.

Kelly was an incredible full-time nanny to my son from 4 months to 2.5 years old. We so appreciated her and missed her a great deal when my son transitioned to preschool. Kelly is extremely dependable and very loving towards children. She was really great through every stage with our son - from managing breast milk supply to teaching songs and ABCs. I would highly recommend Kelly to any family looking for an engaged and responsible nanny.

Kathrine took care of our son from when he was a  newborn to 13 years old.  She is FANTASTIC!!  She is extremely reliable, dependable, hard working, loving and trustworthy.  My husband and I would take and annual vacation and Kathrine would move into our home for 1 to 2 weeks to take care of our son.  Our son LOVED having Kathrine stay with him because he had so much fun.  Kathrine was with our son during a major earthquake and we were out of the country.  She handled the situation perfectly and our son's safety and well being. She probably handled the situation better than we would have!!  I HIGHLY recommend Kathrine....she is the BEST!!

Kelly is a fantastic caregiver, we feel lucky to have her take care of our kids when they were young. We always felt comfortable leaving our kids in her care. Kelly is punctual and responsible, friendly yet professional, and she loves children! Kelly always had our kids' safety and well being in mind. She was a pro at planning creative, age appropriate daily activities with our kids, yet she was mindful of keeping a general routine to help them feel secure. 

As a new parent I learned a lot of practical child rearing techniques from just watching Kelly. She also kept really good and open communication, she was cheerful coming to work in the morning, and she would also be quick with a hug if we had had a sleepless night with a fussy baby.

Our children are grown up now but they still look forward to the occasional visit from Kelly, just as they did when she used to come to our house every day. I would recommend Kelly in a heartbeat to any caring parent looking for a nanny.

Kelly is tremendously devoted to her kids. She is patient and caring and was mindful of our daughter's developmental needs. Kelly encouraged our daughter to be inquisitive and expressive while also being thoughtful.

We called Kelly, "KK," for almost 3 years. She was not only punctual, but she was early and prepared. Every. Single. Day. She got her first cell phone when she worked for us, and we only saw the use of it after hours when she was communicating with us. She gives each of her children the utmost attention and care from the first minute until the last. She is a professional of the highest order.  and we feel blessed to have found her when we did. KK also strongly believes in a good working relationship with parents. She appreciates a similar level of engagement from her clients, the parents, to know that the children are getting the level of care they deserve all the time. Anyone who works with her would say similar things, I know. If you want peace of mind for yourself, knowing that your child is in good hands and learning every second they are with their nanny, Kelly will be the right care giver for you.

Kathrine is great with kids. I trusted her with mine for years when they were younger. You would be hard pressed to find a better person to care for your children. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Kelly was our nanny for two years and we could not have been more pleased to have her take care of our daughter (who is now seven). Kelly is always thinking ahead about fun, engaging and age-appropriate activities.  It is not uncommon for her to send a note one week-ahead with some ideas of parks/museums/classes where she thinks our daughter would have a good time.  She knows the local area well and she is very skilled in planning out their daily activities.  Our daughter always had a great time with Kelly and I can tell that Kelly genuinely enjoys being with kids.  She has a jovial spirit and her laugh and smile truly light up a room.  Kelly gives her kids 100% of her attention. More than anything, we love that our daughter had a wonderfully kind and responsible role model.  Kelly treats all people with respect and kindness. She has a beautiful heart and it shows in how she treats the people she encounters.

Kelly cared cared for our son since he was four months old.  Kelly is bright, reliable, and loving. She has never been late.  She is very experienced in child development due to her extensive experience and natural affinity toward children. She related to our son in such a delightful way, turning practically everything into a fun game and a learning experience.  Kelly took our son out everyday to parks, libraries, Happy Hollow and more, exposing him to many wonderful things, including having him socialize with other children. 

Hiring Kelly as our nanny has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents.

If you love your child, Katherine is the best choice you can make for that child. She is a very loving and nurturing person and will introduce your child to many educational experiences.
