A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Katrina, but I let the little ones call me Kat. I have always had the extra patience and love to care for the little humans. I was always the one who watched the little ones at the family parties, so apart from working at a daycare for 6 years. I have cared for little ones since I was about 15 years old. I am also a mom of a 5 year old. So, I just want to find a family that can consider that when reaching out and seeking for a perfect fit! :)
