Hi. My name is Katie. I am a "people person" with a warm, fun-loving, magnetic personality. I've always enjoyed working with and caring for children. I am a certified elementary school teacher (not currently teaching) and former school secretary. In addition to parenting 3 children, I have provided childcare in various capacities (babysitting, overnight care, foster parent, etc.) I have also tutored elementary school children. Additionally, I have a broad range of professional work experience, including property management, administrative work, sales, coaching, meeting planning, etc. I am currently self-employed as a personal trainer and quality of life and wellness coach. I am interested in part-time childcare work. I am bright, kind, nurturing, caring, fun-loving, creative, responsible, dependable, mature, and trustworthy. Children connect with me quickly and enjoy being in my presence. I also have a good rapport with parents and partner well with them. I am very interactive with the Read more children I am caring for. I enjoy doing art projects, creative play, singing, dancing, baking, going to the park/playground, botanic gardens, forest preserve, and beach, visiting the library, reading books, going on "field trips" (outings), and experiencing life! I am available for part-time or occasional child care, family assistance, and/or tutoring opportunities. I have excellent references available upon request. I look forward to working with you!
