Kathryn Childers Biography

Kathryn Childers made history as one of the first five female U.S. Secret Service special agents hired in 1971. She joined 1,100 men in the elite agency where she shot holes in the “glass ceiling” investigating counterfeit, working undercover, and protecting the President and world leaders. Fondly called the “pistol packin’ nanny,” Childers was charged with protecting the Kennedy children – Caroline and John Jr. – while traveling the globe with Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

A master of reinvention, Childers went on to have a whirlwind of professional and diverse careers. She became a broadcast journalist, producing and hosting her own morning talk show for 18 years on the local ABC affiliate. As an award-winning community advocate, she created an organization that has provided over 18,000 free mammograms to women in need. Moreover, as an author and publisher, she has sold more than 100,000 copies of her books, including the trio about a unique Texas snowstorm and her motivational work, "Do It Scared".

Today, Childers is a sought-after speaker, known for motivating and engaging audiences with her life stories and mantra "Do it Scared!" Her keynotes blend unique experiences with motivational speaking, often incorporating themes such as leadership, overcoming fear, and women's empowerment. She has delivered captivating presentations to organizations like the American Business Women’s Association and has been recognized for her eloquent and humorous presentation style. Childers continues to inspire by sharing personal anecdotes from her time protecting high-profile figures and by coaching on personal branding and career development.
