A little bit about me

My name is Kerry and I've always loved working with kids. Family and community building are some of the most important things in my life and through my own family and community I've learned a lot about meeting people where they're at and letting every new experience teach me another side of life. I am passionate about learning and play and love exploring both light and playful themes as well as deeper ones like emotions, consent, and meaningful work with the toddlers and preschoolers I've worked with. Safety and learning how to communicate needs is also extremely important to me. My family has many different backgrounds and lives in multiple countries in the world which has taught me to hold space for many different backgrounds. I also have experience in the social work field and carry a trauma informed perspective. I am lucky to have had a lot of people hold me throughout my life and I aim to make your child/children feel held and nurtured!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a teacher, cat mom, and an empty nester who enjoys working in the home with kids. I will love doing homework with your kids, playing games, cooking meals with them, taking them to activities, and listening to them narrate their adventures. I would gladly take them outside to play in nearby parks as weather allows. I have all the experience that comes with age and many years working with and raising kids. I'm comfortable with pets, light household chores, and transportation. Northampton MA or nearby. I'm calm, patient, caring, no nonsense, great with languages, and I'll love your pets as much as you do. If your kids are school age, I'm definitely the person you want helping them with homework. Please reach out to see if we might be a good fit.
