About Katherine

I'm Katy! I just finished a grad program in art education at the University of Arkansas. I am moving back to the Philadelphia area in February. A little bit about my background, I'm originally from Tucson, Arizona. I'm a certified teacher. I taught K-7th grade art for 3 years. In 2020, prior to beginning my graduate work, I began working in preschool settings, and as a nanny with children aged 0-7 years old. I also have experience with homeschooling, and as a private art tutor. The best thing about working with children is developing collaborative bonds. I believe that meeting milestones is gained through structure, play, and creativity. I hope to work with a family that is open and communicative, and that values the individualities of their children. In addition to my experience as an educator/caretaker, I am also comfortable managing household duties. I would be eager to help with pets, errands, organization, schedules, chores, and cooking--cooking is one of my favorite hobbies!
