About Kathleen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'm a kind, loving, nurturing, and compassionate nanny, and children absolutely love me. I previously cared for infants, toddlers and pre-K children in a private early learning & daycare environment. I have taken half a dozen professional childcare courses & recently renewed my CPR/First Aid/ AED certifications. I've had a background check/fingerprinted for daycare. I now care for children in home settings. Before childcare, I had been employed by a physics society for 37 years with the last 28 years working in their IT dept. I'm intelligent, reliable, honest. I strive to encourage, praise, and build their skills as well as their self-confidence and self-esteem. I also enjoy laughing, using our imaginations, going on walks, playing indoors and out, building, arts & crafts, board games, and reading books. I simply adore infants and children of all ages, and encourage learning in a safe environment. My most loved professional experience is caring for & loving children.

My two children (boy - 3 and girl- 1 ) have warmed up to Kathleen very easily. She has a bubbly personality that attracts kids. She observes how the parents' routine with the kids and is great at keeping that routine. She is thoughtful and has brought crafts and projects for them to do, she plays with the kids and integrates learning into it. She can easily handle the two kids at one time. She is not scared to get down on the ground with the kids or go on the bounce house with them. Shes been with us three weeks and I totally trust her. When the kids have been sleeping or at school, she helped clean up, fold or do dishes. She is worth every penny.
