A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kate Wood and I'm a nanny with 6+ years of experience and 4 families of reference.

I am currently in my 4th year of undergraduate studying fine art and developmental psychology, so I'm always looking for new ways to combine my two passions: children and crafts.

I have a LOT of hobbies--trail running, hot yoga, deep cleaning, and organizing--but my favorite activity is cooking! I love making food (almost as much as I enjoy eating it) because it is such a thoughtful and comforting way to show people how much you care about them.

I am primarily interested in working with children 1-4 years old. I have basic EMR training through a dual enrollment program with the Oakland Fire Department and have just renewed my CPR certification. If you're looking for someone to treat your children like their own, please feel free to reach out!
