A little bit about me

I am a retired early childhood teacher educator, who prepared teachers for the classroom; mother of two and grandmother of two. I have more than 40 years experience working with young children. I am loving and fun and have recently worked as a nanny for two different infants. My special gift is working with first-time parents and their young babies. I am able to help with feeding, sleep and other issues common in the first year. I have extensive experience and expertise in child development and parenting. I consider myself a caretaker of parents as well as children, and prefer to work with one baby and family at a time. I work exclusively in the northwest Philadelphia area, Germantown, Mt. Airy, Chestnut Hill, Roxborough, Manayunk.

"I wholeheartedly recommend Kathy. She cared for our baby for 3 months before we transitioned him to daycare for financial reasons. Kathy demonstrated dedication, warmth, and skill in providing care, and consistently went above and beyond our expectations. She is passionate about early childhood development. She introduced our baby to a variety of sensory experiences: playing with plastic farm animals, reading books, bringing him to her home to play in the water during the summer months, and allowing him to explore textures with activities such as playing with spaghetti and whipped cream. Her commitment to providing a diverse range of experiences undoubtedly contributed to our son's development. She created a strong bond with our baby, and we trusted her implicitly. After our transition to daycare, Kathy has remained in touch, expressing a continued interest in our son. Her concern for his happiness and growth is a testament to the lasting impact she had on our family."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was an early childhood teacher educator, worked with infant-toddler, preschool and early school age children in child care and primary school settings. I have been a Girl Scout troop leader and volunteer at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy reading, music, games, arts and crafts, outdoor walks. Because language development in early childhood is so critical listening to and talking with young children is an important component of my work.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Providing loving support for children’s development, while supporting needs of parents. While being a nanny is primarily about the child, I also recognize that turning over care to another adult is difficult for parents. Parents also go through their own milestones as their children grow, and support and caring from a knowledgeable nanny can be invaluable.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Watching babies reach their developmental milestones and parents grow in their pride and understanding of their children.
