Hello there! My name is Katy, and I am looking for a nannying/babysitting job in Portland. Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, I graduated from Macalester College in 2015 and earned my Master's in Library & Information Studies from Queens College, CUNY before moving to Portland this summer. I have over ten years of childcare experience, and have worked as a regular sitter/nanny for many different families over the years, with young people ranging in age from 6 months to 16 years. In the past I have had a blast working as a youth supervisor at a variety of organizations (girls basketball camp, archaeology camp, tutor for students K-12, supervisor for youth group community service trips and community farming, nursery supervisor, etc.). I take safety very seriously when supervising youth -- whether we're at home, in the car, or out exploring. I love planning activities and adventures with young people Read more and their families, and I try to bring lots of energy and creativity to my work. When I'm not working, I love to spend time with my family and friends, read, write, cook, paint, knit, play basketball, ride roller coasters, and go on hikes!
