About Kimberly

Experience: 20 yrs

I'm a certified early childhood educator with over 20 years of experience supporting children ages 2-10 in both classrooms and family homes. I hold a graduate degree in Early Childhood and Community Education and a Texas teaching certification. Families often hire me when they're looking for more than supervision. I create engaging, play-based experiences that support early literacy, curiosity, confidence, and social-emotional growth. Whether we're reading stories, doing puzzles, exploring outside, or playing imaginative games, I enjoy helping children learn through everyday moments. Parents describe me as calm, playful and thoughtful. I support routines, encourage independence, and set kind, consistent boundaries. I'm CPR & First Aid trained and communicate closely with parents so we feel like a team. My rates reflect my professional training and experience providing intentional, developmentally informed care. I'd love to connect and learn more about how I can support your family.

Kimberly is kind, patient, and nurturing, and I’ve loved having her spend time with my son. What immediately stands out about Kimberly is how gentle and calm she is with kids. She naturally gets down to their level, listens to them, and speaks to them with so much respect. I really appreciate the way she helps little ones put words to their feelings and guides them through situations in such a positive way. Instead of just telling kids what to do, she talks things through with them and helps them learn how to express themselves and interact with others. Because of her background in education, she’s also wonderful at incorporating learning into everyday moments. Whether it’s counting, talking about colors, or pointing out letter sounds during play or conversation, she makes learning feel completely natural and fun. My son absolutely lights up around her. Kimberly also has a very hands-on, Montessori-inspired approach that encourages curiosity, independence, and kindness. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful, and communicative, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing my child is with her. Any family would be lucky to have Kimberly caring for their children. I can’t recommend her enough.
