A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Katherine, and I have over 20 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from infants through school age. I’ve been with my current nanny family for almost 11 years, which reflects the strong, lasting relationships I value with both children and parents.

I strive to create a nurturing, dependable, and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I love planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, supporting developmental milestones, and becoming a trusted extension of the family.

Families describe me as warm, patient, reliable, and highly experienced. I truly love what I do and feel grateful to build meaningful connections with the families I work with.

I am looking for a full-time position and am open to a Nanny Share with multiple families.
