About Katie

As a nurturing and dedicated childcare provider with over 8 years of experience, I am passionate about fostering a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive. My journey into caregiving began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I realized the profound impact I could have on young lives. With a patient and calm demeanor, I am skilled at managing the needs of children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens. My creative and imaginative nature allows me to engage children in enriching activities that spark their curiosity and imagination. Open communication is essential, and I ensure regular updates with parents about their child's day, either verbally at pickup or through text or phone calls. I am somewhat comfortable enforcing household rules, understanding that consistency and structure are crucial for children's development. I am also a certified lifeguard of 3 years now and a swim instructor during the summers home from college!
