Reviews
Kathy is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She cared for my three children for years. I had to work long hours as a single mother and Kathy was always flexible and amazing with my children. My children enjoyed seeing her and never had any issues with her as a childcare provider. She helped me get ahead in life by creating peace of mind for me knowing my children were safe and cared for
to be able to do what I needed for my children. My kids are older now and always mention moments they had in her care as good memories. She was a true blessing in our lives.
