About Katharina

Hi, I am Katharina! I first came to the U. S as an Au Pair 22 years ago and fell in love with caring for children. Since then, I've babysat for multiple families in the Naperville are. I've been happily married for over 20 years, and we're raising two active, adventures boys (12 and 17 Years). I believe children thrive through play, exploring, and creativity. I am passionate about engaging kids in fun-hands-on activities, whether we're exploring local parks, visiting the library, or playing games in the backyard. I'm now looking to join a part-time family for 2-3 days a week. I have 22+ years of childcare experiences with children of all ages. Fluent in German and Polish - happy too introduce children to a new language. I love cooking and baking with children, or make even homemade baby food. When I am not caring for little ones, you'll find me running, walking my dogs, gardening, or tending to my backyard chickens.
