A little bit about me

Hi My name is Kathryn. I’ve been working with children professionally since 2013. My experience includes roles at YMCA Primetime, as an Inclusion Leader for YMCA Summer Camps, and since 2015, I’ve been supporting children with special needs in the school district.
I currently work as a paraprofessional for the San Diego Unified School District and also provide in-home respite care through the YMCA. I specialize in caring for children with diverse needs, including autism and developmental disabilities.
As a single mother to a high-functioning autistic teenager, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. I am CPR certified for infants, children, and adults, and I offer a calm, compassionate, and reliable presence for families.

I'm currently available for part-time or occasional babysitting jobs during evenings and weekends.
Rates: $20–$25/hour depending on services required
Feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!

A little bit about me

In May 2023, I proudly graduated from San Diego State University, a significant milestone that marked the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. During my senior year at SDSU, I embraced the role of a nanny, caring for a 3-month-old baby. This experience was incredibly fulfilling, as it allowed me to develop a deep understanding of early childhood care and the unique needs of infants. Balancing my academic responsibilities with the demands of a full-time nannying, I honed my skills in time management, empathy, and nurturing, which have become invaluable assets in my life.
Seeking new adventures and opportunities, I made a bold move to New York in August 2023. This transition to the bustling city life has been an exciting journey, providing me with a fresh perspective and a plethora of experiences.
