A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Kat!

I am an aunt to an infant and toddler, and a multi-hyphenate childcare worker with 15+ years experience ranging from: daycare, student teaching, currently working/studying in applied behavior analysis for children with special needs, and further plans to combine with education. I also have a heavy creative background (20+ years), dabbling in theater, DIY food and art crafts, baking, science experiments, music, storytime, etc.!


A thing I love about childcare is how one gets to indulge their inner child and how I am really just a big kid playing dress up! I love to go the extra mile and wear bright colors with engaging shapes, textures and patterns to make the kids I work with feel more welcome when they meet me.

I am currently seeking weekend and/or occasional babysitting opportunities to supplement my busy work and school schedules. If you believe I’d be a right fit for you and your little ones, please feel free schedule a consult with me!☺️

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

DIY food and art crafts, baking, science experiments, music, storytime, etc. I’m open to trying most things at least once!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Transitioning from a nanny to an extended family member. I love being able to build a strong bond with my clients and their families!

My experience with special needs children...

I am currently working/studying in applied behavior analysis for children with special needs, and further plans to combine with education(12/2020-present).

My first experience began in 2011 when I was in high school. My late teacher Ms. Mary Collins founded a schoolwide social skills group for neurotypical and neurodivergent students called Boxer Buddies. Throughout the year we would be paired with a buddy to participate in various activities, culminating the year with the Special Olympics being hosted at our multi-use stadium. I believe this is what kickstarted my journey to where I am working now.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My heart melts a little each time a child really likes my hair or a piece of my outfit and wants to play with it or wear it themselves!
