Hello there. My name is Katie. I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology, am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a seasoned teacher, and have a wealth of experience working with children and teens of all ages, from birth to late teens and young adults. I have taught preschool through high school and have many years of professional nanny experience. I believe whole-heartedly in social and emotional development, and have created anti-bully curriculum for a number of organizations, including local schools. I have worked with a variety of special needs, and have coached emotionally and behaviorally challenged youth in their schools and at home with their parents. I love children and believe that young people have the capacity to clue us into their needs in their care and development. As such, I am child-centered, playful, intuitive, compassionate, reliable, and grounded. I am a mother of 2 so understand well Read more the demands of parenthood. With many skill sets to offer your family, I am here to help. Just let me know your specific needs. In full transparency and to be upfront, I am only available to nanny from my own home, so that I may also be home with my youngest child (oldest is a teen and self-sufficient). I have a wealth of experience and expertise as you can see, but this is my deal-breaker! Looking forward to hearing from you. Katie
