Kimberly
Hi, my name is Kimberly. I’ve spent most of my career working with children in different ways, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I began my career as a flight attendant, where I developed strong organizational skills, the ability to stay calm in any situation, and a knack for being prepared for anything. After having my son, I started a children’s portrait photography business, which eventually led to a role at an independent school. There, I worked daily with students—photographing them, helping at school events, and supporting admissions. My background also includes yoga philosophy and restorative yoga, and teaching children how to use restorative yoga as a tool in creating balance. I most recently also returned to photography. In my spare time, I also do pet therapy work with my Golden Retriever, visiting hospitals, the USO, and colleges. I truly love being around children and make their safety and well-being my top priority. I find kids to be pure joy, and I bring a calm, caring, and reliable presence to every family I work with.
