About Kathryn

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

For the past 12 years I have been taking care of children of all ages for a range of times for different families. Several of my jobs were for more than 2-4 years each. I often have worked concurrently with other families for shorter terms depending on their need. I enjoy getting to know a family and see how I can best help their specific child ( children) and their specific situation. It is important to me to know the vision and goals of the parent(s) so I can be well aligned with them. I am a mother with a grown son and daughter, as well as a grandmother of two boys. I was a preschool teacher many years ago, then worked in the corporate world for almost 18 years. I enjoy being with children and they have always been in my life. I have an educational background in Psychology . I value being able to contribute something to children that will help them now and in their future. I also value the fun and play they bring to my life.

Kathy was a caregiver for our daughter from Aug 2022 to May 2023, from when our daughter was about 15 months to two years, when she started daycare. Kathy is a wonderful, thoughtful, nurturing person who put the needs of our daughter first, as well as the entire household. She always took cues from our little one to understand what she responded to and what most interested her, including engaging in play, reading, and outdoor walks to the park. Kathy was always punctual and reliable. She was such a joy, we would have continued working with her had it not been for daycare. Any family that works with Kathy is lucky to do so!
