Your search is over! I am pleased to provide a reference for Kate . She is a remarkable person who truly enjoys children! Kate is pursuing her degree in speech therapy at Pace University, just graduated from the America Needs You nonprofit fellowship program, and is one of the nicest and most conscientious people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Kate is patient, kind, fun-loving, nurturing, artistic, articulate, trustworthy and caring. I have observed her interaction with children many times over the last 3 years and it is remarkable. For example my five year old granddaughter see s Kate as a peer, and has since she was first introduced to her 2.5 years ago. And Kate recognized that immediately! She has a unique ability to tap into a child s interest and will explore it with them in the most organic way imaginable. I understand the angst that goes into selecting a caregiver and I can say with the utmost confidence, that you will rest (or work) easy, knowing that your child(ren) will be happy and secure, in Kate s loving and responsible hands.
