Experience: 10 yrs
As a caregiver with three decades of experience, my passion lies in positively shaping the lives of children and providing reliable support to families. My patient and creative nature allows me to connect with children and foster a nurturing environment. I maintain open communication with parents through daily written reports, ensuring transparency and addressing any concerns. With my unwavering commitment to enforcing household rules, I create a structured and safe space for children to thrive. I have a knack for devising educational games that make learning fun. My training includes First Aid and CPR, and I'm a certified teacher with a background in early childhood education. I'm also comfortable with pets, have a car, and am happy to assist with cooking and light housekeeping. I'm excited to bring joy, knowledge, and care to your family.
Kathleen was prompt, kind, asked good questions and let me know a status via text as we were out. We will definitely use her again!
