A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Katie – a warm, dependable nanny with over 2 years of experience caring for children from infants to age 8.

I take a gentle parenting approach, supporting each child’s emotional development with patience, empathy, and consistency. I’ve worked with families of up to four children and am confident balancing busy households, daily routines, and fun, engaging activities.

I’m CPR/First Aid certified, pet-friendly, and happy to help with light housekeeping tasks like tidying up play areas, dishes, and children’s laundry. Families I’ve worked with describe me as calm, communicative, and trustworthy — and I love becoming part of the family team.

Looking forward to connecting and learning more about how I can support your family!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I bring over 3 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I’ve provided in-home care for children from infants to age 8, worked at a gym offering childcare, and served as a teacher’s aide at an outdoor school where I helped guide and supervise up to 10 children at a time. I’ve also staffed an overnight summer camp, caring for and mentoring girls ages 7–16.

My approach is grounded in gentle parenting – I believe in meeting children where they are, encouraging emotional growth, and supporting them through calm, respectful guidance. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, pet-friendly, and happy to help with light housework and daily routines to make your home run more smoothly.

Whether we’re playing, learning, or winding down, I aim to create a safe, supportive space where your kids can truly thrive. I’d love to be a part of your family’s team!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing children's yoga, and teaching them mindfulness from a young age. Other activities I enjoy reading and exploring different parks and fun child friendly museums. I really enjoy taking kids outdoors and minimizing screen time so they can get out and really explore imaginative play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is realizing the kids always come first. Your babies, no matter how old, are being placed in my care and I am fully responsible for anything and everything that happens to them and realizing that and taking care of these children as best I can is so important. It's not just babysitting it really is becoming a part of the family.

My experience with special needs children...

I do not have any experience and am probably not the right fit for you if you're looking for special needs care
