With over 20 years of experience as a childcare provider, I'm all about helping kids grow and thrive. I'm a friendly and patient person, so the little ones in my care feel safe and happy. I keep parents in the loop about their child's day with written reports and regular chats. I love playing a variety of games with kids, from outdoor sports to educational ones. Plus, I'm certified in First Aid and CPR, and I've been a teacher too, so I can make sure your child is safe and well-cared for. I can comfortably take care of up to two kids, from 0 to 11 years old. Let's chat and see how I can help your family out!

We have been lucky enough to have Kathryn as our family’s nanny for the past four years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She has cared for our two children with incredible love, patience, and consistency, and has truly become part of our family.

She is trustworthy, dependable, and always goes above and beyond to ensure our kids feel safe, happy, and supported. Whether it’s school pickups, activities, or just being present for everyday moments, she approaches it all with warmth and professionalism. Our kids absolutely adore her, and we feel complete peace of mind knowing they are in her care.

If you’re looking for someone who will not only care for your children but also invest in them wholeheartedly, Kathryn is the person you want. We are so grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

There is only one word to describe Kathryn as our family's nanny- Priceless. She is one of the warmest, most caring people that you will ever meet and your children will thrive under her care as much as they would under your own. You know when you meet someone who literally is an absolute natural with kids and who could never be annoyed by anything a child does? That is Kathryn. She is truly amazing and any family that is lucky enough to employ her will agree. My kids call her Mama Kathryn and I can tell you that she was a blessing in their lives for the last two years when we were fortunate enough to have her help. We wholeheartedly recommend her and know that she will be a blessing to your family like she was to ours.

Words cannot describe how great of a nanny (and person) Kathryn is. We knew she was the perfect person the day we interviewed her and in the nearly 2 years she watched our boys, she truly became a part of the family. She has endless patience, is prompt and reliable and is always willing to go the extra mile to help. She has experience with all ages, newborns to teenagers, and has truly been a blessing in our lives. If we could keep her forever we would, the only thing that softens that blow is knowing she'll always be part of our family. We love her, she gets our highest recommendation, and whatever lucky family is privileged enough to hire her next won't regret it.

Kathryn was my son's teacher at Kindergarten. We have known Kathryn for 7 years, and I have to say that EVERY single encounter with her is pleasant and she CARES about our kids as if they were hers-from DAY ONE!!!! She is not just around to collect a paycheck, she is in her career because she truly cares about children and their development. She has always made our kids feel confident and loved. I kept in touch with her after we left the daycare and she has helped watch our kids on many occasions. I trust Kathryn with driving my kids around, with our home and would never think twice about the safety of my children when she is around. Kathryn not only has the background in early childhood education at a childcare center, but also at a school district level. She is always continuing her education as well. I will continue to look to Kathryn as my TOP pick. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Kathryn was my sons pre-K teacher at Wildfire. This is where I became to know her personally. My son always came home talking about "Ms Kathryn" and how much he loved her. So my husband and I decided to use her as our babysitter and couldn't be happier. Anytime we go out on a date my kids first choice is always Kathryn! I highly recommend her!

We met Kathryn at our son's daycare, and she was warm, friendly, and energetic. We asked if she would be available to babysit because our son was already familiar with her. She is caring, punctual, clean, and had fun activities while she watched our boys. We sometimes had a difficult time booking Kathryn because she was in high demand with several families. I would highly recommend Kathryn because she has a lot of experience with kids and is so great with them!

My kids love Miss Kathryn! She is so great with them! She works with all ages and can handle anything. We have worked with her both in a school environment and privately.  
We love working with her and would never hesitate to make her our first call for any of our childcare needs.

Kathryn is one of the kindest, sweetest people we have ever met!  She is amazing with children!  She is patient, attentive, and we never worry when our kids are with her.  Our kids beg to have her watch them!  I would highly recommend her as a nanny, babysitter, and caregiver.

My name is Cecelia K, and this reference is submitted for my sister, Kathy H. I've known Kathy her entire life -- as I am her oldest sister.  Over the years, I have witnessed Kathy's relationships with the many children in our network of family and friends, and the many children involved with her work. This may sound clique when describing the traits of a wonderful nanny on a nanny review website but....Kathy is a naturally gifted, active listener with children.  Kathy has an extraordinary organic ability to recognize a child's perspective and feelings, provide feedback to a child they are able to assimilate, defer judgment and respond appropriately...fostering a culture of respect, care and safety for all involved.   Aside from these rare wonderful gifts she has to offer, Kathy is a skilled multitask, has a sharp business mind, is tidy/organized, very funny, laughs a lot, very safety-aware, lighthearted, likes sports, and is a genuinely good, kind human being.

Kathy is my sister and is simply amazing with kids; she delights in them and treats them as the treasures they are. She is nurturing, caring, and playful and knows how to bring out the best in the children she takes care of. I have seen firsthand how well she loves on and takes care of kids in the time she has spent with our nephews. They LOVE their Aunt Kathy!

My name is Michelle D. and Kathryn is my younger sister. Kathryn has cared for my boys (now 17 & 20) in a paid position while I was an accountant for the Gates Foundation and my husband was building his own practice. Kathryn is the 6th of 8 girls - care-giving and effective communication is natural for her. I will get no debate from my sons that she is hands down the kindest, most gentle and funniest aunt that they have - they adore her. You will also get no debate from my sisters on this. People that interact with Kathryn often react by saying she is "pure joy", this is an excellent description. Kathryn also cared deeply about the safety of our boys and was so honorable when it came to our rules for our boys. They loved her, so they never really fought back too hard with the rules - Kathy has a way of garnering a mutual respect with children. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss.

She's works well with kids and adults . She loves kids. She is patient, she is funny ,  trustworthy, kind, loving and great positive personality and gets things done .. I had the pleasure of working with her at Wildfire Elementary school. Seeing her interacting  with the pre-K kids was amazing ! I also see her now with the family she is taking care of and she is take good care of them and the parents have grown to love and trust her.

She is amazing! She has become part of the family and our three girls love her!! We have used her for 3 years now. Very dependable and very good with our kids. We love her!

We first met Kathryn through our daughters daycare about 5 years ago, and my daughter fell in love with her from the start. She's since become like part of our family. She's so kind and patient, always reliable, and truly loves what she does. We give her the highest recommendation!

Kathryn is amazing with children and I've witnessed her over the years directly nurturing young children while building their confidence, learning and development and their all around happiness under her care. She has made such a positive impact in both of my children's lives (now school age, 6 + 8) by developing a lasting relationship with them and building a foundation of success for each of their futures. She is a blessing to any family who needs balance with children, home life and beyond. I fully trust Kathryn and highly recommend her.

Kathryn was the teacher's aide for my son's pre-k, and we also had her come babysit on weekends because my kids loved her so much. She is reliable, trustworthy, and always on time. She's very experienced with children of many ages. Besides knowing your children are safe in her hands, you will also feel good knowing your children are enjoying themselves with her. She is so warm, friendly, and FUN!  We love Ms Kathryn!

I am writing to recommend Ms. Kathryn H. as a caregiver.  She looked after my two children for over a year and a half, from 2019-2020.  At the time of her arrival to our household, my two kids were aged 3 months and 6 years old.  !I have known Kathryn for a year and a half, during which time I have gotten to know her quite well.  She has certainly earned my trust.  She is both patient and enthusiastic around kids.  She has always been punctual and agreeable to any task.  I've found her to communicate quite well.  She stepped up and helped us tremendously when my now 7 year old started second grade online.  Kathryn has helped my now 18 month old develop an appreciation of reading, exploring, and playing outside.!We are sad to have her stop caring for our children, but my parents will be moving in and will be helping us out.  Despite this, I expect to remain in close contact with Kathryn, as she has become part of our family.!
