About Kathryn

I'm a calm, creative caregiver with a Master's degree and over 15 years of experience supporting children ages 1 and up. My approach is rooted in play, emotional connection, and respect - whether I'm helping kids through tricky transitions or just making everyday routines more fun. I've worked with families in homes, classrooms, outdoor programs, and therapeutic settings. I'm especially strong with sensitive kids or kids with big feelings who need a little extra patience, flexibility, and grounded energy. I'm happy to provide care at home or out in the community, and I'm available for short-term or occasional bookings - including evenings and fill-in care. I'm also a certified scuba instructor, adaptive diving specialist, former swim teacher, and First Aid/CPR/AED certified. Rates: $25/hr for short-term bookings, $30/hr for one-time jobs (1-2 children). Add $5/hr per additional child. Part-time availability only. Feel free to message me - I'd love to see if it's a good fit!
