Hi, I'm Katie. I am an extremely creative and enthusiastic person. In addition to my nanny/Babysitting experience, I have two brothers, so child-care is something that comes naturally to me. I have experience working with multiple children. I am easy going and have a great sense of humor, which makes it very easy to get along with people. I am an active person, so I find it enjoyable to take part in playtime, art projects and outdoor activities. I think education is very important and I view every day as an opportunity to teach something new, no matter what age the child is. That can include anything from motor-skills, reading, science projects or baking to educational games, learning a new sport or trips to a museum. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing place for the children and a stress free environment for everyone in the family! I am Read more a great cook, I love organizing and cleaning and I have a passport for travel. **First Aid/CPR certified Advanced Child Care Training w/Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED thru American Red Cross. 3 Years of Professional Nanny/House Manager Experience The Dailey Family – Live Out - Nanny - House Manager April 2015 August 2016 Evanston, IL – Three Children ages 4, 6 & 7 when I Started • Provided a safe, caring, nurturing and stimulating environment in which the children thrive and develop.

Katie is THE BEST, plain and simple. She is so wonderful to our daughter (21 months) and we trust her completely. Each morning she walks through the door with a big smile and our daughter is always thrilled to see her! Katie is warm, honest and a joy to be around. She's always one step ahead and genuinely makes my life easier every day. As first-time parents, we've appreciated her expertise. She offers helpful suggestions, yet respects our wishes on how we choose to raise our daughter. Katie's been with us through many milestones such as sleep training, starting solids, walking and talking. And boy is my daughter talking! We owe much of her early communicating to Katie who reads, sings and talks to her constantly. Sadly, we are moving out of state and Katie will be looking for a new (VERY lucky) family. She's truly special and you'd be so fortunate to have Katie take care of your little one(s). Please email if you'd like to discuss, in more detail, how great Katie is! amandaksahota@gmail.com

We were lucky to have Katie work with our infant son for 7 months! We always felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. He and even our dog just adored her! She utilized every part of the day to make sure he had the best care, all while making life easier for us. They were always out and about even in the Chicago winter! She is extremely trustworthy, reliable, punctual, and professional. Even our family, neighbors, and friends picked up on what a great asset she was to our family! - Cheryl C

Simply put, Katie is amazing. We really didn't know what we were missing before she joined our family. She is completely dedicated to our three kids (5,7 & 8) while they're at home and during the summers, and while they're at school or play dates she helps manage the rest of our crazy life - everything from grocery shopping to whipping up delicious, healthy meals to running to the dry cleaner. Her positivity, patience and ability to diffuse challenging situations is awesome. She talks through things with the kids in a respectful way and also knows how/when she needs to be more firm or strict. She is never one to sit around - taking the kids all over the city to have little adventures. I'm more than happy to talk further about Katie. You will be lucky to have her!
