About Kathy

Experience: 20 yrs

Nurturing a child's development is my lifelong passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the families I support. With 20 years of experience, I provide reliable, patient, and calm care for children aged 0 to 11. I hold First Aid Training, CPR Training, and TrustLine certified (CA only) credentials, supported by my Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework. I love being in the moment with children, whether we are exploring nature, conducting science experiments, or getting creative with painting and paper crafts. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and prioritize clear communication through your preferred method. I look forward to bringing my creativity and dedication into your home to help your children thrive. I am truly excited to meet your family and become a trusted partner in your children's growth.

I worked with Kathy during the last year of her in home daycare. I witnessed the enthusiasm she has for being a caregiver and educator- one that is committed to creating an environment that kids thrive in. Whether they're making arts and crafts for Mother's Day or learning their ABC's, she's great at constructing activities that are enjoyable and engaging. Not only did she teach the kids, she taught me a lot about caring for little ones that can only come from 30+ years of experience. She will provide your little one(s) with all the love and care they need to bloom. She's disciplined, kind, and knows all the nursery rhymes! You can rest assured Kathy will bring joy to your child everyday she's with them.
