About Katja
Experience: 6 yrs
I have a dual degree in Theatre and Psychology with a minor in Childhood Studies from Case Western Reserve University. Children respond very well to me, and I have worked as a part-time nanny for the same family for two years as well as numerous babysitting gigs. I especially enjoy finding age-appropriate outdoor activities that get children out of the house and away from television/computers, as well as engaging in imaginative play and crafts. I am always very mindful of rules and boundaries as laid out by parents, and I work very hard to encourage children to share, express their feelings, and exercise patience with themselves and others. More than anything I like to help children engage with and explore the world around them at their own pace. I am hoping to work with families who are looking for someone who will prioritize both their needs and the needs of their child. I am currently working out of Madison, New Jersey

Katja is unbelievable. We have hired a number of different sitters through the years (many whom we liked) but we have never experienced anyone that is as thoughtful, attentive, energetic, kind and playful as Katja is with our son. He is in heaven when she is with him. She encourages his imagination, encourages his learning, is mindful of rules and boundaries and is pleasantly professional. We hit the jackpot with Katja. She's truly incredible.
