About Katie

Hi! My name is Katie and I'm currently living in Austria completing my one-year Au-Pair contract, which is such an amazing experience, and now I'm looking for another wonderful family to accept my services once I'm back home in mid-May! I have been nannying consistently for the past 5 years. I went to Penn State for early childhood education and human development/family studies, and then I paused my studies and worked at an early learning center as a teacher. I have professional experience with children ranging from 6 weeks old to 10 years old, as well as a passion for fostering the emotional, social, and cognitive development of little ones. I also have experience planning and leading early educational activities. I especially love any type of outdoor play (there are amazing forest kindergartens here in Austria!) and think of play and exploration as the most important methods of learning for children. Don't hesitate to reach out! :)
