Meet Katie
- Comfortable with pets
As a dedicated childcare provider with nine years of experience, I am passionate about nurturing the well-being and development of children. My journey in caregiving began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my knack for fostering a safe and stimulating environment for kids. My patient, calm, and creative personality enables me to engage children with imaginative games and educational activities that enhance their learning. I believe in open and consistent communication with parents, ensuring they are informed about their child's day and any matters that arise. I happily adapt to parents' preferred communication methods. Regarding household rules, I follow the parents' guidance, respecting their parenting style and expectations. My diverse skill set includes First Aid Training, CPR Training, and certification as a teacher. I am experienced in caring for children aged 0 to 11.
