I have cared for children of all ages off and on for much of my life. People consider me to be kind, caring, dependable and a grandmotherly type. I have cared in recent years for my friend's children and atttended a school-sponsored "grandparents day" in place of a grandparent. I love to read to children, play games with them and engage them in conversation. I am usually able to quickly establish good rapport with children and teens. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kathy is just a lovely person. We brought her in to help with my two boys, 2.5 and 6 months. She was just a pleasure and extremely helpful. My toddler just loved her, even called her grandma! She was attentive, spent time with him, taught him about shapes and colors, he didn't watch TV, he learned with Kathy while having fun. She never sat still, always jumped in to help straighten up the house, wash the dishes. She was a real help to us and I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a reliable, genuine and trustworthy person. You just need to spend 5 minutes with her before it's clear you are sitting alongside good people. Your kids will know it too.
