About Kimberly
Experience: 4 yrs
With a background as a children's story time librarian, museum director, children's ESL teacher, and play based outdoor educator, I offer your family my lifelong passion for caring for and guiding learners! For families interested in leveling up their child's experience, I especially enjoy combining caregiving with my passion for the natural world. I love brightening a child's day with nature-based activities and play! Whether in your backyard or at local park or farm, we will turn on our minds, bodies, and hearts in nature, finding opportunities to build on a variety of childhood skills like communication, creativity, literacy, problem solving, focus, persistence, and empathy.
Most recent review
Kim has been amazing with our kids. One of the things I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just talk to them on their level—she actually gets down and plays with them. I’ve seen her outside with the kids digging in the dirt, finding worms and bugs, pointing out animals, and joining right in with their pretend play. That kind of hands-on involvement is rare, and the kids light up when they’re with her. For me, having the kids outside in nature is a big deal. Kim makes sure they get plenty of time exploring and learning about the world around them, all while burning off that endless kid energy. It’s been great to see how much they’ve learned and how much calmer they are afterward. I can honestly say she’s given our kids a safe, fun, and engaging environment to grow in. I’d recommend Kim to any parent who wants someone who does more than just “watch” kids—she really invests in them.
