About Kathryn

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! My name is Kate and I am a 48- year-old transplant from Long Island, NY. I have been in Charlotte since July 2007. I have a degree (BA) in psychology focusing on early childhood and autism. I enjoy working with kids, teaching them new skills and seeing the joy that they experience when they see what they can do. I believe in reading to children often and early, as language skills are developing even when we think they aren't listening. I enjoy exposing children to new experiences and surroundings as a means of improving confidence, coordination and social skills. I love the special bond between a family and their nanny and relish the opportunity to become a part of the family. I have been a nanny since 2010 and I have enjoyed my time with each family that I have worked with and keep in touch with most.

Kate has truly been our saving grace. Next month will mark two years with her, and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her support. With my children being only an year apart, she stepped in early, adapted quickly, and made an immediate difference in our family’s life. She is punctual, dependable, and communicates clearly, which gave me peace of mind from day one. She balances professionalism with a laid-back, easygoing personality that makes her a joy to be around. Kate keeps my kids engaged with fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities, and she always prioritizes their safety. Most importantly, she is loving, patient, and genuinely invested in their happiness and well-being. My children adore her and see her as a safe space. She goes above and beyond- even capturing sweet photos and moments I might have otherwise missed… which I’ll treasure forever. It is rare to find someone both so reliable and so deeply caring. Any family lucky enough to have Kate as their nanny will quickly realize how special she is. Kate, thank you for being the best nanny and becoming such a dear friend to our family.
