About Kimberly
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, families! I'm a mom of two with over 20 years of experience caring for kids of every age. I spent more than a decade running my own in-home daycare with children ages 0-5 and I've nannied for wonderful families since. My philosophy is that children thrive in an environment when they feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves, and I love helping them learn, explore, and grow. A typical day with me might include: -Nature walks, park trips, and backyard exploring -Sensory play, crafts, and activities that build gross and fine motor skills -Dance parties, songs, and stories -Patient, individualized care for kids with extra needs, including autism, ADHD, speech and developmental delays, and medical conditions that need close monitoring I give this work my whole heart, and I'm looking for a family who values that. I'm reliable, professional, and invested in your children, and I thrive with parents who see me as a partner in supporting their children.
Most recent review
2 years ago I began the stressful task of trying to find a nanny for the 1st time. Kim responded right away. As we corresponded through here, I instantly knew she was a right fit for our family. There was just something about her that put me at ease, made me feel so comfortable and I hadn't even met her yet! When we finally met her, my husband and I instantly liked her! She was so good with our kids. Over the last 2 years, we have had Kim watch our kids, both in our home and in hers. As a parent, it's always hard to find someone you can fully trust your kids with. Kim was that person for us. She is very active, fun, easy going, reliable and trustworthy. She always took the kids on fun outings to the zoo, different parks, splash pads, etc. Kim is a great mom and I truly thinks she loved and cared for my kids like her own!
