Kat came into our lives when my son was three months old. When we interviewed, it was obvious right off the bat she would be perfect for our family. Talking with her did not feel stressful or anxious. She was (and is) so warm and attentive. I struggle with some very specific OCD and she never made me feel like my requests were ridiculous.
She did everything and anything (and without asking). While we did negotiate her job responsibilities, she took on other tasks that she knew I would appreciate especially postpartum. Having Kat in our home was therapeutic. The way my son has just always connected with her has been a huge blessing. I’ve said this before and I mean it: there is a very small list of people I trust to take care of my son and Kat is at the top of the list (and probably always will be).
Some of the responsibilities Kat took on from three months to three years have been diaper changing, burping, meal prepping, bottle prep and cleaning, laundry, house hold cleaning, crafting, painting, reading and everything in the middle. When the time came for me to go back to work, Kat was there to help us out. Going back to work for me wasn’t overwhelming because I knew my son was getting the best level of care there was. The last three years would have been so different without Kat. As my son grows up, it brings me joy that many of the memories from his first few years of life will have Kat in them. She is one of the biggest blessings in our life.
My son is three years old now and absolutely adores Kat. We are lucky to still get Kat for date nights. She will always be part of our family and I am eternally grateful for the love she has given to my son and the professionalism she has shown me and my family.
Anyone that is lucky enough to have Kat join your family while you navigate being a new parent has quite literally hit the jackpot.
