About Kay

Experience: 12 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, a calling I have pursued for 12 years. My approach is rooted in patience and creativity, ensuring that every child feels supported and inspired. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, and my graduate coursework in Early Child Development informs how I nurture children aged one through 12. I am comfortable caring for up to four children and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and carpooling. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, engaging in educational games, or heading to the pool, I prioritize safety and fun. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I enjoy providing expert supervision during water activities. I communicate clearly with parents through verbal updates at pickup or via text. I look forward to bringing my calm, approachable energy into your home to help your family thrive.

Loved working with Rebecca this summer! Our two boys said she was really cool :) Wish our schedules could have aligned this semester but I would recommend her to anyone looking for a positive, safe, fun, caregiver.
