A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Katie, an experienced teacher, mom, and caregiver originally from Massachusetts. Now in Portland, I bring over a decade of childcare expertise, including eight years as a pre-k- elementary school classroom teacher. I have taken courses in child development, children's literature, and more, with continuous learning through workshops on and certifications in topics like positive discipline and child psychology. I advocate for respectful and child-led approaches, nurturing creativity and play-based learning in a supportive environment. While child-focused, I support the whole family, anticipating household needs and proactively addressing challenges. Building a connection with the entire family is a privilege and a joy for me, based on open communication, shared values, trust, and mutual respect. Thank you for considering me! If interested, I can send along my full online portfolio and references. I'm excited about the opportunity to work with your family.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

All activities I plan and create are child centered. Learning should be planned around children's interests and needs first and foremost. Some of my favorite activities have been visiting local orchards and farms, baking and cooking, trips to the science museum, library story hour, local children's theatre productions, building forts, making mud pies and all pretend play!
