Kate has been a member of our backup caregiver team as well as having worked with one of our long-term clients as their full-time nanny for premature infant twins, who she cared for through their most crucial early years of development.

Working in group care for many years, I learned about the different personalities of children and the best way to handle strong emotions, what the most supportive tools are to support their emotional/social/physical development. I have worked with many different families and understand that one parenting style won’t work for another, I am there for support not to pass judgment.”
