Hello! My name is MISS KATHY! I have been a professional nanny for the past 13 years. I live in Gilberts, have two amazing grown sons, and 4 adorable (what else?) grandchildren. I currently am a Nanny fulltime, but that is ending because the two children are off to school fulltime First grade and Preschool As I am a mature babysitter, I can literally handle anything, as I've handled just about every situation imagineable!!! I am extremely responsible, dependable, honest, caring, kind and fun! I offer services to be flexible in anything you require and a sort of other Grandma to your children. As I've had extensive experience with all age children, I will give them a fun and safe experience and you a peaceful time away from your precious ones. I play with the kids, get on the floor and play one on one, make age appropriate crafts (my specialty!!), Read more read to, build towering block cities, hug baby dolls, cuddle, sing loudly and off key (not really-----sometimes I think I'm the next Adelle!) , and generally lead by example in treating others as I like to be treated. (I truly live THE GOLDEN RULE and show it by my example). For babysitting on weekends, I charge $17 per hour for one child, and add $1.00 for each extra child. I have excellent current references from my full time families and weekend babysitting families. If you think we might be a match, please message me so we can arrange a time to meet. I am very proud of the excellent babysitter I am and hope you will think that about me too! Many thanks for your consideration!! Cordially, Miss Kathy 😊
