Kathleen enjoys being a Staten Island Mothers Helper because she takes joy in watching children grow and learn!

"I enjoy being a nanny, because I love watching children grow and helping them to learn new things. I am very caring and respectful as well as I am attentive to children and their needs. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the childcare profession over any other it would have to be because I cannot imagine doing anything else. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 28 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are unique and have a lot of insight. I have a lot of fun playing with children and watching them grow. My goal as a Nanny is to make parents feel assured that their children are being taken care of and are safe. I want to provide a fun, safe, and caring environment for the children I care for. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes sweeping, mopping, cleaning counters, and laundry. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am caring, attentive, loving, respectful, and fun! Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include reading to the children, play dates, playing games, playing music, and playing outside. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny like me I would hope they would be respectful and understanding. I would like a family that is willing to communicate openly with me."

"I have known Kathleen for over a year. During this period she served in the capacity of Teacher to my son. Kathleen possesses the qualities necessary in the early childhood education field, which include the ability to nurture, patience, creativity, and organization. Kathleen planned day-to-day activities with the children that included social interaction and self-expression to name a few. Kathleen also interacted with the parents to ensure educational reinforcement for the children outside of the classroom setting. Kathleen will be a great asset to any family and shall thrive within."

"I have known Kathleen for well over 5 years; she is a very warm, affectionate, kind person with immeasurable patience and huge heart. Kathleen is wonderful with children as well as animals. In the time that I have known her I have seen her interact with children and she seems to put them right at ease. Kathleen would be an asset to any family as a Staten Island Mother's Helper."

"Kathleen has worked with my family for many years. My children are both former students of Kathleen’s. During their time in her classroom, Kathleen was responsible, enthusiastic and loving. She understood my children's needs and worked within their individual boundaries. She was a disciplinarian with her own set of morals and values; however she left room for flexibility based on my wishes and expectations. My children adored Kathleen so much that I asked her to supervise them occasionally on weekends when I had to run errands or during evenings when I had to stay late for work. She consistently provided my children with activities that were developmentally appropriate and fun. If the weather permitted, Kathleen would take my children on field trips or visit the park, a museum or toy store. My children continuously reflect upon experiences that they have shared with Kathleen. Kathleen has also cared for my youngest child since he was born. She has helped me with diapering, feedings, washings, resting periods, and doctor visitations/appointments. Kathleen has given me several suggestions regarding my son's overall development. For instance, she has helped me implement a schedule for my son at home to reinforce what my son learned in school. Moreover, Kathleen encouraged me to plan play dates with some of my son's fellow classmates to enhance his social-emotional development. Kathleen is a blessing and a pleasure to work with. She takes her job seriously and is a true professional. I highly recommend her for any type of childcare."

"I have witnessed firsthand Kathleen as a very responsible, caring, trustworthy individual when taking care of children. The children respected Kathy and there was true evidence of commitment to the job on Kathy’s part. Kathy is patient, understanding and kind to the children and she will do a wonderful job in dealing with children and with their families. I think she is a wise choice for a job as a Staten Island Mother's Helper.”"
