Kathryn

Well hello there! I'm a career nanny currently caring for two little rugrats in Nashville, Tennessee. I absolutely love working in the world of children, and I'm passionate about connecting with other members of the vibrant nanny community. I'm a travel junkie, coffee addict, and children's book fanatic. Come share the love!

I am a career nanny of three littles outside of Philadelphia, PA. Working with little humans is my dream job, and it is an honor to be a part of a community who feels the same way! Other than my job I love tea, reading, succulent plants, essential oils, and traveling! Thanks for being here, it's so great to have you as a part of our community!

Happy Friday! Stretch a little and enjoy a work week well done.

Here at NQMP we strive to help families create JOY in their routines as we teach children. I believe this includes when we teach them about family responsibility. For the family I’m working with, we’re working on the family responsibility to keep the house clean. • Why do we clean? To live in a clean home and take care of our things. What needs to be cleaned every day? That’s what makes this chart. When we all work together - we have more time to have fun together. So, if we fill up the jar by fulfilling our responsibilities each day - we can pick a special and fun outing to do as a family! • This brings a collaborative spirit, fun family time, and consistent work all into one chart. What are ways you teach children about responsibility using encouragement, joy, and collaboration?

Found this gem posted by a fellow inspiring Nanny! We love this mentality. Kathryn is especially fantastic at coming up with sensory experiences and I love getting kids messy and muddy outside!

The littles had off school today. Whenever we have off I like to take advantage of it and make it an adventure day. We pick a new magic place to explore and fill us up with wonder. Today this little man was in his element! If you love trains and nanny in PA - check this place out! ••• Also, always check out your local library’s resources! Our library has free tickets for a dozen different museums within an hour from where we live. So this adventure day was free for us!

Nothing fancy going on, but it was warm enough for popsicles and we were over the moon about it. After being cooped up all winter, we were ready for some SUN! Did a little happy dance the whole day. ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ What are you doing with your kiddos today? - @hello_kathryn

This post is 100% about YOU growing into the best Nanny you can be. You become who and what you surround yourself with. This is why professional development is so incredibly important! Surround yourself with opportunities to grow, affirm your areas of interest and speciality and find a community to support you. One way we do this at NQMP is by joining in for interNational Nanny Training Day! 🌎 It’s an amazing opportunity to grow, network, and invest in your job. Check out @nannypalooza to find an event near you I’ll be at my local event - and I can’t wait to share what I learn!
