A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Katrina, and I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged children. I currently work full-time as an infant and toddler teacher, where I create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports children’s growth and development.

I am passionate about helping children learn through play, sensory activities, reading, music, and hands-on experiences. I am patient, dependable, organized, and enjoy building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with.

As a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I have a wonderful 5-year-old son who has autism, which has given me an even deeper appreciation for each child’s unique strengths, needs, and personality. My experience as both a parent and childcare professional has taught me the importance of patience, flexibility, and celebrating every milestone.

More About Me

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

My relevant childcare experience includes working as a private nanny for families and as a childcare teacher in licensed childcare centers. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and young children in both home-based and classroom settings, providing nurturing care, supervision, learning activities, and support with daily routines.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing a variety of fun and engaging activities with children, including cooking/ baking, arts and crafts, dancing, music and movement, read-aloud’s, sensory activities, and creative play. I love creating experiences that encourage children to explore, express themselves, build confidence, and learn while having fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and able to be themselves. It’s about building trust with both the child and family, being patient and dependable, and understanding that every child is unique. A great nanny not only provides care but also helps children learn, grow, explore, and reach their full potential through meaningful interactions and everyday experiences.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with special needs, including children with autism, cerebral palsy, and lissencephaly.

The most important part about being a nanny...

A funny nanny moment I’ll always remember is when a child proudly told me they were going to make me breakfast. They came back with a “meal” made from pretend food and explained every ingredient like they were a professional chef. Since I love to cook, I enjoyed watching their creativity and excitement as they used their imagination to create their special meal for me.
