About Kerry
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am inspired by children's enthusiasm and wonder as they learn about the world, and am committed to ensuring a physically and emotionally safe space for your child to explore. I am warm, nurturing, energetic, patient, creative, and attentive. I tend to connect with children intuitively, but am also deeply grateful for five wonderful years of experience that has strengthened my knowledge-base and confidence to help foster my nanny-babies' physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development. I am versed in connection-based parenting philosophies, and have a shame-free, compassionate approach, that still upholds structure, and models and maintains boundaries. I love working with families and am adaptive and able to integrate new practices to accommodate specific priorities. I have a degree in Economics from The University of Florida Honors Program and spent four years working at an investment firm prior to transitioning to my heart-driven calling, working with children.

Kerry is the nanny jackpot. Words can't express my gratitude for her, but I'll try my best in this review. She helped us raise our daughter beginning at 6mo to just over 2yo. The last year and a half with her has been priceless for the whole family. She is a true expert, offering parents incredible insight and creating an emotionally safe space for the child to bloom into their best self. Kerry enters the world of the child and family in a seamless way, where everyone is deeply supported and respected. She taught our daughter practical life skills, emotional regulation skills, and so much language, even Spanish. Truly, without Kerry, our daughter would not be thriving as she is now. Our family owes her the world. I could go on and on, but rest assured that you have found the ultimate nanny in Kerry. If you have any questions, please call me so I can gush about her.
