Miss Kati

I'm a reliable, fun, and patient grandma who loves caring for kids of all ages especially the younger ones. I have 30+ years of experience caring for children. My most recent nanny job was caring for a three and a half year old boy with autism and his younger sister. I am currently helping to raise my 4-year-old granddaughter.
I have experience in this field firsthand as my major was in child development and I have a Down syndrome younger brother and another one with ADHD. I also grew up babysitting from an early age.
