Hi, I’m Kathleen. I’ve been working with children since I was 16, starting with babysitting and growing into roles in daycare, camp counseling, and after-school programming, including serving as a program director. In my early 20s, I lived and worked as an Au Pair in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, which gave me a lot of experience adapting to different households, routines, and parenting styles. While in Italy, I also taught an English program in an elementary school using music and movement to make learning more interactive and fun. I currently work in Public Relations and Social Media, but I’ve always stayed closely connected to childcare. I also have experience as a travel nanny and am comfortable supporting families both at home and on the go. I speak fluent English and Spanish, C1 German, and basic Italian, and I’m CPR and First Aid certified. I really enjoy working with kids because Read more I like how honest, curious, and funny they are. I’m very comfortable balancing structure with play, and I try to meet each child where they are developmentally and emotionally. I’m open to finding the right family fit, including travel or long-term nanny roles.
