About Katherine
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a professional Early Childhood Educator (ECE) with 14+ years' experience working with children (ages 0-13) in numerous settings including center/school-based, university lab schools, non-profits, community centers, after-school programs, art programming, behavioral healthcare, & in-home nannying. Currently, I am 2 classes away from finishing my online Master's in ECE at Portland State University with extensive experience in the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Additionally, I am a life-long artist & writer with a passion for incorporating creative arts, language/literacy, & nature immersion into all work with children, including babysitting/nannying. I have a B. S. in Psychology from Western Michigan University plus courses from Kalamazoo College & the Univ. of MI School of Social Work. By exercising a strong Pedagogy of Care, my provisional values are inherently based in the belief that children of all abilities have rights to high-quality, play-based learning opportunities.

Katie's calm and thoughtful approach stands out. She values every child, ensuring they feel seen, heard and appreciated. Our children loved her and responded so positively to her care. Katie also incorporates art into her activities, making playtime both creative and educational. She demonstrated exceptional patience and attentiveness while managing our three kids (including twins), with ease. She is professional, kind and we highly recommend her to those seeking a compassionate caregiver.
