About Kathy

Experience: 10 yrs

Yes, I'm retired, but looking for fluff/vacation money, purpose, and want to do something I love. I love kids! I have two of my own now grown, but no grandkids yet. Even though I had a career, I always put my kids first, and miss that time with young ones. I would love to care for and play with yours. What's better than getting paid to play? I am a God-fearing woman seeking Jesus Christ first in all my activities, so if that's a turn-off, don't read on. If that is important to you, please do read on. I was a young widow, and remarried two years ago after raising my youngest and retiring. I host a GriefShare course now and use my experiences to help others going through the pain of losing a spouse. I also love housework--yeah, I know, weird, but I do--particularly dishes, laundry, and vacuuming. I am open to elderly care and caring for children with special needs. Finally, as a retired teacher, well I also love teaching . . . anything . . . particularly spelling, writing, math.
