Relationship before performance.
Children learn best when they feel safe, known, and connected. Attachment and co-regulation are foundational.
About Nurture & Knowledge
Built from the care I wanted to see more of.
Nurture & Knowledge grew from years spent inside early childhood classrooms and family homes—and from seeing how much becomes possible when care is smaller, more personal, and rooted in relationship.
From care to calling
Hi, I’m Caitlin.
My background spans Montessori preschool classrooms, nannying, psychology, and speech and language development. I loved early childhood work, but I also saw the strain of larger systems: crowded environments, turnover, burnout, and the challenge of giving each child the individualized support they deserved.
In-home care showed me another way. One consistent caregiver can know a child deeply—their rhythms, language, temperament, interests, and the tiny shifts that are easy to miss in a larger setting.
I created Nurture & Knowledge to connect families with caregivers who bring that same depth to the early years, while building roles that respect nannying as skilled, professional work.
Why this agency exists
Personalized care shouldn’t mean lowering the standard.
Families deserve the warmth and flexibility of care at home without having to choose between nurturing support and developmental knowledge.
Nannies deserve positions where their judgment, education, experience, and boundaries are respected—not treated as extras.
Nurture & Knowledge sits in the middle of those needs. The goal isn’t simply to fill a schedule. It’s to create a relationship that can actually last.
Our philosophy
What we come back to.
There is no perfect script for childhood. These principles guide how we think about care and how we evaluate fit.
02
Real life is full of learning.
Meals, walks, books, cooking, gardening, play, and transitions all offer meaningful developmental opportunities.
03
Sustainability matters.
A strong placement has to work for the child, the parents, and the nanny. Respect and communication go both ways.
