A little bit about me

My name is Kathryn, and I look forward to working with your family! With a strong background in both academics and childcare, I am confident that I can provide a nurturing, responsible, and enriching environment for your children.

I am just completing my Bachelor of Arts at the University of California with a major in Sociology this June Cum Laude. My studies have deepened my understanding of human development, health, and communication.

I’ve enjoyed working with families in both long-term and short-term roles. Most recently, I worked as a nanny for two children (ages 4 and 2). I supported their growth through structured learning activities, ensured safe transportation to their events, and created fun, age-appropriate experiences tailored to their interests.

My strengths lie in creating supportive, structured spaces where children feel safe and encouraged to grow. I’m well-organized, patient, creative, and genuinely love building strong connections with kids and their families.

More About Me

I’ve worked with children in a variety of settings over the years, from being a nanny to a part-time sitter during the school year. I’ve cared for kids ranging from ages 2 to 11, helping with everything from schoolwork and creative activities to transportation and light meals. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment, and I’ve learned to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs.
I expect to build a strong, positive relationship with the family, creating a fun and supportive environment for the children. I hope to be treated as a valued member of the family, with mutual respect and open communication. I also look forward to experiencing a new culture, improving my language skills, and gaining more childcare experience. Overall, I want to contribute to a happy, harmonious household while learning and growing personally and professionally.
