Nanny Kitty

2 years experience

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kitty, and I absolutely love spending time with kids helping them see the magic in everyday things. Whether that’s getting lost in a good book, exploring outside to find fairies in the garden, or turning a rainy afternoon into an adventure, I try to bring a sense of curiosity and creativity to everything we do. I am currently working on my second master's degree and in the process of applying for PhD programs so academia is a big part of my life but I’ve always balanced that with play, imagination, and connection. I love creating calm, joyful spaces where kids can learn, laugh, and feel supported. Reading, storytelling, and creative exploration are my favorite ways to connect, but I’m just as happy building blanket forts, going on walks, or helping with homework. At the heart of it, I believe childhood (and life!) should be full of wonder and I try to keep a bit of that spark alive in everything I do.
