About Katherine
Experience: 8 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
As an experienced and nurturing childcare provider with over a decade of experience, I am passionate about creating a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. My journey in childcare began with my love for babysitting, where I discovered the joy of caring for children and positively impacting their lives, while letting their parents earn money or get alone time. My approach to childcare is centered around patience, kindness, and a deep understanding of each child's individual needs. I believe in open communication with parents, providing daily updates by text, and working collaboratively to address any concerns or issues that may arise. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while also being flexible and adapting to the needs of the family. I enjoy a variety of activities with children, including educational games, arts and crafts, and outdoor play. I am also a skilled swimmer and would love to teach your children how to swim if the opportunity arises.

Kat is simply the best. An exceptional communicator and genuinely kind hearted person. She is punctual, and always a delight! My youngest is temperamental and has separation issues from time to time, but it's, "goodbye, Mom!" When she sees Kat at the door. Kat keeps the house clean and the kids are always fed. Highly recommended. 10 out of 5 stars! We'll be moving across the country in a few months, and Kat will be assisting us with packing and cleaning. Wish we could take her with us! .
