A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been a full time nanny for 15 years, based in NY, Colorado and London. I took a pause for the last year or so to move to Maine with my husband and have our son, Callum 10 months and would like to find some part time or could be full time work where he can come along! I’ve raised kids from newborn on up, I’m an outgoing, positive, reliable and very creative person. I believe in getting outside as much as possible in nature, creative play, the arts and extremely minimal screen time. I have a car, a clean drivers license and wonderful recommendations.

A little bit about me

I have 20 plus years working with children in a preschool setting and as a professional nanny! I worked as the lead infant teacher at La Petite Academy in FL for 7 years and the lead infant teacher at Jr. Jets Child Development center in CO. I received my CDA in FL and have taken several training classes in both states over the years. I have been a full time nanny for the past 9 years in CO. One family I was with for 5 years and did a small preschool with 3 children 2-3 yr olds (friends!) I enjoy planning a curriculum for the children in my care so we are always playing and learning! I love arts and crafts, being outside, sensory play, music, and reading books! I am flexible, reliable and have excellent references!
