A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Katie, a dedicated and experienced nanny with 16+ years of hands-on childcare experience, specializing in early childhood development. My journey in childcare has taken me from bustling Chicago to the charming community of Hartford, where I've had the privilege to work with diverse families and support children in their growth and learning.

With a strong background in early childhood education, I understand the unique needs of children at various developmental stages. I am passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and learning through play. I believe in the importance of building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families.

In addition to my childcare expertise, I am also comfortable and experienced in caring for pets of all sizes, including cats and dogs.

I look forward to the opportunity to become a valued part of your family!

More About Me

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

I have nannied full time for 5 families throughout my career. I worked in a daycare for 2 years and was a kindergarten teacher for 1 year. I play a large role in raising my niece and nephew, ages 12 and 14.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Hide and seek, scavenger hunts, storytelling, building blanket forts, picnics, library adventures, arts and crafts, dance parties, attending local community events, playground visits, assisting with homework, baking, card/board games, walks around the neighborhood, among many other things!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe and stimulating environment for the children. We can play and have fun while addressing emotional, nurturing, and developmental needs.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children with learning and developmental disabilities as well as visual impairments and dietary restrictions (allergies).

The most important part about being a nanny...

Building a close relationship with my nanny families is important to me. I still stay in touch with the family I nannied for the longest. They live in Chicago and we make trips down to see them. It is so rewarding to see how much the kids have grown and to still be a part of their lives.
