A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Kat! I worked as an au pair with a family in England for their daughter who was 10 months when I started and almost 3 when I had to leave. I loved my time so much working one on one with her and teaching her all about the world. When when I came home and life was more normal I decided to try teaching. I have been working in Early Childhood Education while going back to school full-time online to be an art teacher. The experience of working with children as little as 6 weeks and as only as 12 has been incredible. They have all taught me so much about myself and the world around me. While I love working as a preschool teacher (currently in my own classroom of 20 3-4 year olds), I am ready to get back to working with smaller groups and really growing those one on one connections.
Alittle about me: I am a Boulder, CO native and adore art. I love my family and I am very goal oriented. I am creative and caring which makes me a perfect fit for your family!

"Wow, where do I start about Charlene ? Charlie (Charlene) is an absolutely wonderful nanny. She's consistently punctual, reliable, and always follows through on her responsibilities. She's incredibly patient and engaging with our autistic son, creating a fun and learning environment. Her communication is excellent, and she keeps us well-informed throughout the day. She’s very engaging and brings activities to keep our kiddo entertained. She’s great about following our schedules and making sure our son stays on routine. My son often asks when she’s coming to visit again! Charlie is now part of our family, and we can’t imagine life without her love & support. We have complete confidence in her ability to care for our child, and we highly recommend her!"

"It’s hard to write a reference for Joanna, because we don’t want her to leave us! She is an incredible young woman and so amazing with our children. They love her so much. She’s very attentive, follows directions, checks in, and makes our kids happy. I couldn’t recommend her enough, whatever family ends up with her will be so happy. She asks lots of questions, fills me in on what they are/their moods/activities/etc when I get home and I’m always at ease knowing she’s home with my kids. Joanna would be an amazing addition to a family and we hope they treat her as well as she deserves to be!"

"Emily is very dependable, reasonably priced and hands on with children. She keeps the kids engaged and takes the time to make them feel special. My children absolutely adore her which makes going out on date nights so much easier. You know your sitter is doing something right when the kids are rushing you out the door. Can't say enough about Emily."
