Hi, I'm Kathy — a mom of three and former classroom teacher who believes childcare should feel like a partnership with your family, not just a job. I'm currently available for part-time work. Calm, dependable, and always ready to meet your kids where they are. Having raised three children of my own, I understand firsthand what it truly takes to nurture, guide, and show up for a child day after day. Teaching is at the core of how I care for kids. With years of experience as a classroom teacher, I know how to connect with children of all ages, adapt to different learning styles, and meet them exactly where they are — whether that's working through a tricky homework assignment, encouraging a reluctant reader, or simply being patient while working through tantrums. I bring that same structure and attentiveness to every family I work with. As a certified nutrition Read more and health coach, I bring a thoughtful perspective on healthy habits and routines for kids, and my CPR and First Aid certifications give you added confidence that your little ones are in capable hands. Beyond childcare, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping to keep things running smoothly while you're away, and as an animal lover, I'm completely comfortable around pets of all kinds. My goal is to be someone you trust completely — reliable, attentive, and consistent — so you can have real peace of mind while you're away.
