About Katie
Experience: 5 yrs
I'm a warm-hearted and dedicated childcare provider with over 5 years of experience. My passion for nurturing children's growth and development led me to this fulfilling career. As a creative and friendly caregiver, I strive to provide a safe and stimulating environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. Effective communication is key, and I keep parents regularly updated on their child's day through written daily reports and verbal communication at pickup. Additionally, I value and respect the parenting styles and preferences of each family and adapt my approach accordingly. With my experience, I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and maintaining a structured routine while still allowing for flexibility and spontaneity. I do have two school aged children, 9 and 5. I could work other hours if they could join me l as I don't have care for them outside of school. They are in school 8:25 a.m. - 3:05 p.m. mon-thurs and until 2:15 p.m. on Fridays.

Katie was my daughter's daycare teacher, and we were delighted to have her babysit as well. She can handle 6 toddlers with ease, so babysitting my 2 daughters is a breeze. She's experienced, and trustworthy. I am very choosy about who I have around my kids, and trust her implicitly. Later this month we will be leaving then with her for an overnight. I cannot recommend her enough. Further context - I was dreading searching for a babysitter, as I would have to interview, interview recommendations, and perform back ground checks. Our daycare had already done this, so hiring her was a no-brainer. She was also my daughter's (and our) favorite teacher at daycare.
