About Kathleen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am an experienced child care provider and member of child care council. I have cared for, educated, and nurtured children ranging from 6 months to 13 years. I provided a loving stable, safe environment where the children were treated as family, and trusted respectful relationships were developed with parents. I have experience caring for children with special needs as well. I have a daughter (grown) who I raised with special needs I focused on kindness, learning, respect, and positive reinforcement. I like to structure the day. I prepared balanced meals and educational play. I like to stimulate children with reading, art, science, nature, and sports. I also have experience caring for adults with health issues and terminal illness. I am reliable, dependable, honest and committed. Thank you for your consideration. It would be a pleasure to talk more and I hope to hear from you soon!

Kathy has been with us consistently for more than two years now, and my kids and I appreciate her in our lives. The kids have a flurry of activities in far-flung parts of town and Kathy reliably takes them to those and attentively watches them as they go through their routines in gymnastics/ninja warrior/jiu jitsu classes. She speaks to the coaches/senseis if there are any issues and helps sort those out. When the schedule or locations change, as they often do, Kathy easily adjusts to going to different locations as needed. She's always willing to pick up an extra day if needed. The kids have grown to trust her over the years and often ask her deeper "meaning of life" type questions and share stories that they may not otherwise be comfortable sharing. I have complete trust that Kathy would offer the same advice and explain things the same way that I would, and I am glad they have her as another outlet for that in the their lives. Even when she's not formally on the clock, she's dropped by with a carload of Christmas gifts for the kids and to see them on various holidays. She truly cares for them beyond the job. I highly recommend Kathy if you're looking for someone who will treat your kids like her own.
