About Katherine
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
**Currently only accepting overnight Newborn Care positions** I have a nurturing spirit shaped by my experiences on my family's farm and caring for younger children. Initially pursuing El. Ed., I discovered my true passion for caring for newborns. After earning an associate's degree in Social Work, I worked with non-profits supporting underprivileged children, which deepened my understanding of their diverse needs. With over 12 years of experience, including 11 years as a nanny, I have developed expertise in newborn and young child care. I prioritize continuous education in child development, focusing on treating each child as unique and fostering communication with parents. In my personal life, I enjoy hot yoga and outdoor activities with my dog, Snow Bear, and seek a family that values collaboration and effective communication in parenting.

Katie is an absolutely fabulous caretaker. She was with us during a move into a new house and helped us care for our 6 month old daughter during the chaos. She was ALWAYS early or on time; never daunted by any task; and consistently researched ways to stimulate and nurture our daughter. She was responsible and truly a pleasure to work with. We will miss her!!
