About Kathleen

Reviewed on 8/23/2023

Kate is compassionate, trustworthy and adaptable. Compassionate – Kate has the best energy – always upbeat, highly knowledgeable with a can-do attitude. Kate is patient, kind and loving, even when our 18 month old daughter and our dog were having challenging days. She also adapted quickly to the needs of our very smart dog, who uses recordable buttons to communicate, even making sure she understood what our dog’s communication patterns were on a day when our dog kept pressing “concerned” and various other buttons. That level of empathy is critical for understanding and adapting to the needs of an individual. Trustworthy – Kate is incredibly trustworthy, dependable and a great communicator. My daughter is absolutely elated every morning to see Kate and greets her at the door, and that is the best feeling as a parent. They have so much fun together. Kate is so observant and communicates behavior changes or anything noteworthy to me. I haven’t always allowed previous nannies to take our daughter outside our home, but with Kate, I fully trust her judgment and abilities with my daughter. Adaptable - Kate was able to quickly learn our daughter's individual needs, favorite activities and schedules, which for a toddler can change weekly, sometimes daily! She also has been able to adapt her caregiving style to incorporate some of the values that are important to us, which I really appreciate her flexibility and adaptability. Watching a toddler can be challenging, especially as meltdowns can happen, but Kate viewed those as an opportunity to try new things, and I never saw her get frustrated or stress and was always able to pivot/try new things.
