Kate Gosselin is happy to be a working mama—even if that means working 12-hour days.
The former star of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” shared in the remarks beneath her August 11 TikTok post why she went back to working as a nurse after some time away from it following her reality TV stint.
In simpler terms, Kate (the mother of twins Cara and Mady, aged 24, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel, all aged 21 with her ex-husband Jon Gosselin) wrote to someone saying that she had managed to pay for all their college expenses, something she is proud of, as well as the legal fees involved.
Kate, who recently found herself in court frequently since her last appearance on reality TV in 2019, expressed, “It’s disheartening, but I was dragged into court regularly, which comes at a heavy financial toll. Unfortunately, my children could have benefited from more savings and I might have had a comfortable retirement if it weren’t for the lawyers. Nevertheless, I’m assisting other families, and I find fulfillment in this work.
In response to a question about why she might still need to work despite her time spent on reality TV, she pointed out that the earnings aren’t as substantial as they ought to be, given that she supports eight children by herself.
Kate, who first appeared on TikTok in July, recently renewed her nursing license following her move from Pennsylvania to North Carolina this year. In a recent video, she opened up about a busy day she spent caring for one of her pediatric patients.
Kate shared with the camera as she emptied the dishwasher, “Today was quite hectic for me. It turned out to be a 12-hour day filled with numerous activities. My patient and I enjoyed some time on the swings together, attended a birthday party, frolicked in the water, and spent a significant amount of time outside.
She enjoys spending time outdoors, my patient does,” she explained further. “In addition to that, I also provided all necessary medical care, including feeding and bathing.
Certainly, Kate has never hesitated to open up about her personal experiences, including reminiscing about her reality TV past with her clients.
In a TikTok video posted on August 3rd, Kate shared that she’s a Registered Nurse, specializing in Pediatric Home Health Care. She currently works with one family and has built a relationship with them to the point where they are familiar with her name and some personal details about her. Before she arrives at their home for care, they already recognize her.
She mentioned that they’ve been incredibly warm and genuinely pleased with my presence. They even seek my guidance. Interestingly enough, this includes their teenage children as well.
And while the network cameras are off on her home life, Kate is fulfilled in her latest chapter.
Kate was overjoyed, expressing how truly fulfilling and enjoyable her work has been,” she said. “Being able to ease the burden from a family who have a medically complex child, allowing them to focus on their other children and activities.

After a full day of festivities, our grand #15 celebration is now drawing to a close! We started celebrating early with a gift at 6:30 am before school in 2019. I can’t help but feel grateful for my children – it’s hard to believe they’re already fifteen. Every day, I’m astounded by their growth and development, and I’m incredibly proud of the wonderful qualities they’ve been exhibiting as they approach adulthood.” (Kate’s post about the special milestone in 2019)

She loves them deeply.
