My name is Caitlin — the founder of Nurture & Knowledge.
I’m an early childhood professional with experience in Montessori preschool classrooms and in-home nannying, supported by studies in education, psychology, and speech and language development. Working closely with young families over the years has shown me how powerful relationship-based care can be in the early years.
This work grew from my belief that learning unfolds most naturally when children are met right where they are — home.
Supporting a child from infancy into toddlerhood this past year shaped so much of this vision. Watching his growth — and feeling how mutual that joy was — revealed how deeply consistency, attachment, and attuned interactions influence a child’s experiences and emerging sense of self. It reminded me how valuable a nurturing and knowledgeable presence can be for many first-time families as they navigate new territory.
Nurture & Knowledge bridges the gap between traditional childcare settings and personalized in-home care, offering the warmth and depth of home while supporting development across all areas. I want to uplift nannies as early childhood educators and create meaningful matches for families who value informed, intentional care during the years that matter most — when 90% of the brain is formed and pathways begin shaping how children move through the world.
This agency is the natural next step in everything I’ve learned and witnessed — and I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re exploring care options or hoping to step into a role that reflects your value, I’d love to connect.
We believe:
Families often want the personalization of in-home care along with confidence that their child’s development is being thoughtfully supported.
Caregivers often want roles where their education and insight are recognized, not treated as optional or secondary.
Nurture & Knowledge exists to bridge that gap.
Our mission is to elevate caregivers as early childhood professionals while providing families with informed, nurturing support during the years that shape a child’s foundation for life.
Caitlin has cared for our 2-year old twins and 3-year old with extraordinary warmth, kindness, and reliability, and from day one felt like a true extension of the family. Our children adored her, and she consistently went above and beyond – not just keeping them safe and happy, but caring deeply for our home and our family as a whole. What set Caitlin apart was her genuine love for what she does, shown in countless small, meaningful moments that meant the world to us. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Caitlin care for our son from the time he was 6 months through 18 months old. Her thoughtful, developmentally informed approach supported his growth across every area – emotionally, socially, physically and cognitively. She created a calm, nurturing environment where he truly thrived, and her professionalism and passion for early childhood were evident daily. We wholeheartedly recommend her and the high standard of care her agency represents.
Caitlin has cared for our children since our twins were 6 months old, and later also looked after their baby sister. Not only do our kids absolutely adore her, but we as parents have complete confidence and trust in her care. She is professional, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, which gives us as parents total peace of mind. We feel so lucky to have had
such consistent, loving care for our family over the past 4 years.
