Hello! I’m a nurturing and creative childcare professional with over 10 years of experience. For three wonderful years, I served as a dedicated nanny for one family, caring for children from newborn to age 7. I am CPR and First Aid certified, with extensive expertise in early childhood development, especially with babies and toddlers. My skills encompass meal preparation, diaper changing, and effective sleep strategies. I believe in fostering child-led play and prioritize imaginative engagement to create meaningful connections with kids. As a confident caregiver, I thrive in understanding and adapting to the unique personalities of every child!

Kate is truly an amazing person. She was our nanny with our first baby for about a year. As you likely know, it’s hard to find someone you can fully trust (especially as a new parent). Kate was an extension of our family. She’s an old soul, who cared for our daughter like she was our own. Punctual, respectful, and kind. Ultimately, We moved across the country, and haven’t seen Kate in a few years but we still keep in touch (and I continue to ask her to move closer to us). You’d be lucky to have Kate as your Nanny. ♥️

I write this review sincerely letting you know that Kate will be the perfect addition to your family. We hired her during Covid looking for a kind, patient, and loving nanny during the height of the unknown. What we didn’t know was that she gave us more than we could have asked for having our children under her care. She is very prompt with timing, mindful of picking up the house, and thoughtful with activities she does with kids. Kate is a homemade type of girl. It was very rare that she let our kids be on screens, always showed up with a craft or a science project which accelerated their minds and made them curious! Lastly, her background in teaching was a major plus and a bonus for communicating and knowing little minds so well. Kate will forever be connected to us and I hope she can be a help and care to the next family. 10/10 no doubt!
