A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Katie. I am 20 years old and live in Swansea. I am currently in college taking online classes at Massasoit Community College. I used to work at Early Minds Childcare as a preschool teacher. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have also worked as a camp counselor previously. A little fun fact about me is that my family is a foster family. I have 7 younger kids living in my house that range from the age of 1-17. I love helping them with their schoolwork and watching them grow up. Working with children is my passion and I am working to get my degree in early education while also double majoring in social work. I have experience in creating lesson plans from my previous jobs. I am a very artsy person and love to draw, but I am also very athletic and did play basketball in college for 2 years. I do drive and have my own car. I have extra car seats at my house if ever needed and absolutely love animals!

A little bit about me

 A hardworking, self-respecting Caregiver who has always put the needs of others before those of my own. It is second nature to me to take care of someone else whether it be an adult, senior citizen, or a child. An efficient, reliable Caregiver with close to 5 years of experience in either a long term care facility, mental health facility, and home setting with great knowledge and understanding of what is expected. Highly motivated and willing to put in maximum effort to any job or task I take on. I'm also a quick learner and a team player.

A little bit about me

I grew up in a large family of 7 kids, I am right in the middle of them all. I began babysitting at around 12-13 years old and began full-time in a preschool after graduating in 2016. I worked in the preschool setting from [phone number hidden], and began part-time nannying in 2018. I switched over to full-time in 2021, after having my daughter. Since then I have worked for four families (long-term), and have had my daughter with me. We frequent the local zoo's (RW & Buttonwood), local playgrounds, and the surrounding town libraries for story times. I also plan and execute "curriculum" based on themes I can incorporate into the day for developmentally appropriate age groups.

I have potty-trained 3 children in my care, and welcomed my second child in 2023.

It has been a wonderful way for the children I watch to create friendships & socialize!
