Life gets complicated. The last thing you need is to feel judged. You deserve someone in your corner who actually feels like support.

A new baby. A job search. A kid applying to college. A budget that stopped making sense. These aren't isolated problems — they're moments where people need real, experienced help from someone they trust. That's exactly what I've been doing, informally, for years.

What I Do

Five areas. One person who genuinely loves all of it.

I don't have a specialty — I have range. And a real passion for every single one of these.

Financial Clarity

Financial Clarity

Looking for financial coaching to build a real budget or payoff plan? I offer judgment-free financial education for individuals and families in the Seattle area.

  • Budget building — where your money is actually going and where it should go
  • Debt payoff planning — a realistic, prioritized approach
  • Financial aid and income change navigation (maternity leave, job loss, etc.)
  • Teen & young adult financial literacy — credit, credit scores, building credit, understanding wealth, retirement, and investing basics
  • General "get your finances organized" working sessions
Trip Planning, Getaways & Milestone Celebrations

Trips & Milestones

From trip planning to milestone celebrations, I help Seattle-area clients create meaningful getaways and celebrations without the stress.

  • Custom day-by-day trip itineraries — destination guidance, lodging, activities, and restaurant picks
  • One planning call plus a revision round, so the trip actually fits how you travel
  • Milestone celebration planning — birthdays, anniversaries, and personal celebrations
  • Venue and vendor recommendations, timeline, and coordination guidance
  • I don't take on weddings or large-scale events — just meaningful trips and personal milestones, done right

Why people trust me with all of this

Years of experience working alongside families and individuals in every one of these areas — not from a book, not from a course, but from showing up and figuring it out together, over and over again.

What People Say

Real Stories From Real People

I had just graduated and didn't know how to create a professional resume. This is when I reached out to Kady and she rewrote my whole resume! She got me to land my job within weeks of posting the resume. I can't recommend her enough!

Becoming a stay-at-home Mom wasn't the easy transition I had imagined. I often felt isolated and unsure of myself, but Kady was more than a friend during that time. She was a lifeline. Her experience as a nanny helped me see that what I was feeling was normal, and whenever I doubted myself, she was there to lift me up. If something I tried wasn't working, Kady would offer new ideas, but most importantly, she was there to listen. She supported me then, and she continues to support me and my family to this day.

I sent Kady my résumé sure that it was the best it was going to be, but I valued her opinion. I had tweaked it with AI and added keywords from many job descriptions. Kady's review comments came from the heart. She gave my résumé a personality that mirrored the one she saw in me. She was not only gentle and kind in her suggestions, but backed them up with real life experience as a recruiter. I ended up sending a polished résumé to a rock star company and got the job! Thank you, Kady.

I watched Kady spend 7 years supporting our family with genuine compassion and creative problem-solving, and then transition into her professional career where she earned her MBA and built real expertise in financial strategy. What's remarkable is that her core strengths—trustworthiness, ingenuity, meticulous organization, and an unwavering drive to help people succeed—only deepened with her professional experience. She's someone you can truly rely on, and our family wouldn't be where we are without her. Her combination of real-world wisdom and expert knowledge makes her invaluable.

Our group of four used Kady's travel expertise to plan an intensive, action-packed week in Paris. She gave us options for B&B locations, transportation, and lined up all our ticketing — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, a Seine River boat excursion, a bus tour to the Palace of Versailles — always with safety as a top priority. We stepped off the train with a perfect itinerary, tickets to every attraction, and a stunning B&B surrounded by cafes, galleries, and shopping, within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. Kady truly found the place that exceeded all of our expectations. She thought of everything, and we're eager to use her skills for future trips.

Kady, founder of Kady's Village — parenting, career, college, financial, and travel coaching in Seattle

Hi, I'm Kady.

I've been the person people call when life gets complicated — new babies, resumes that need rewriting, college applications, budgets that stopped making sense, a trip that needs planning before it becomes overwhelming. I've spent years alongside families and individuals figuring it out together, and the one thing that's stayed constant is this: I genuinely love the process of helping people get unstuck.

For 7 years I worked as a dedicated nanny and house manager for one family — and the role went far beyond childcare. I managed groceries, coordinated vendors for home projects, and kept a full schedule of kids' extracurriculars, homework, and daily operations running smoothly, all while caring for several other families at the same time. That range — juggling people, schedules, and logistics all at once — is exactly the muscle I bring to Kady's Village today.

I don't have children of my own, which I've found is actually one of my strengths as a parenting coach — my advice isn't shaped by one family's experience, it's built from years across many different households and approaches.

Outside of work, I've spent years planning trips and celebrations for myself, friends, and family, because I genuinely love it. Building an itinerary that fits how someone actually travels, or pulling together a celebration people will remember, is a different kind of problem-solving — and one I'm just as passionate about as everything else here.

I lead with compassion in everything I do — and that means being honest with you, too. If something needs to be said, I'll say it, warmly and with your best interest at heart. Compassion without honesty isn't kindness, it's just comfort. You deserve both.

I started Kady's Village because I'd been doing all of this informally for years — helping parents, rewriting resumes, walking people through financial decisions, supporting students through college applications, planning trips and celebrations for friends who just wanted someone else to handle the details. The people I helped kept sending others my way, and it made sense to build one place for all of it. Whatever you're navigating right now — big or small — I'd love to help.
