About Katie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have worked with children for the two decades, both in school settings as well as in the home. I have two relevant degrees in psychology and speech and hearing sciences, as well as 1/2 of a masters degree in applied behavior analysis. I love creating and maintaining a positive, engaging, and inclusive environment. I am committed to creative and artful play, exploring the outdoors, and staying active and eating well.

I adore Katie! and I give her the highest recommendation possible. For 10 months she was the nanny for our 2-year-old son, and the experience was outstanding. The only reason we parted ways is that a very good (full-time) summer job opportunity came her way and we could only offer part-time. She gave us a full month s notice and we supported her decision. Katie is a dream-nanny: intelligent, loving, cheerful, patient, creative, and extremely reliable. Our son bonded with her quickly. They did all sorts of stuff together: parks, bookstores, walking, reading, puzzles, blocks, cuddling, singing, lunch at a food cart, trips. She drew pictures for him on his blackboard, recreating characters from his favorite books. Best of all, she showered our little guy with affection, attention, and joyful energy. We miss her, but we re still in touch she feels like family. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
