A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Mary Kathryn, and I am a dedicated and experienced nanny passionate about fostering children’s growth and development. I recently moved from Austin, Texas, to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and have an academic background including a degree in psychology and a minor in applied behavioral health from Texas A&M. I have proudly cared for a family for five years and had the pleasure in helping facilitate a nurturing and engaging environment.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my fiance and two dogs. I also like the outdoors, listening to podcasts, and painting in my spare time. I think that education and learning is a lifelong process and believe in continual growth and development. In believing this, I try to learn something new every day.
I am excited for the opportunity to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to a new family!

More About Me

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

I have a rich background in childcare, having worked for a family caring for their three children. Additionally, I assisted with their cousins on occasion, managing up to nine children simultaneously. My involvement extends beyond individual families, as I have contributed to the community by working with up to 10,000 children and organizing public programs for families. Witnessing children’s growth and development is a source of joy for me, making my role in childcare both rewarding and fulfilling.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am thrilled about the prospect of joining your family as a nanny and engaging in enriching activities with your children. I find immense joy in fostering both educational and creative pursuits. Outdoor adventures, whether at local parks or nature trails, are wonderful for exploration and play. I also enjoy organizing arts and crafts sessions to stimulate creativity. Educational outings to museums or science centers, coupled with storytelling and music sessions, contribute to a holistic and engaging experience for the children. I look forward to bringing my passion for creating positive and educational interactions to your household.

My experience with special needs children...

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to a family as a nanny! My four-year experience as a camp counselor, where I supported children with special needs, has equipped me with patience and adaptability. Additionally, having a cousin who is special needs and wheelchair-bound has given me firsthand insights into the unique requirements and the importance of personalized care. I’ve actively engaged in creating inclusive events, such as an Easter egg event tailored for children who are blind, showcasing my commitment to providing diverse and thoughtful experiences. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of each child under my care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was learning about glitter and its innate ability to get anywhere and everywhere. When I was younger and having craft time with the two little girls I was nannying, they convinced me to get the glitter out of the craft closet. I obliged, and about 15 minutes later, there was glitter all over the floor, the table, and the two little girls. It took me about two hours to clean up, and to this day, I am not a major fan of glitter, but it is funny to look back and laugh at the pink sparkle explosion.
