Hi! My name is Katie and I've spent a lot of time working with children in a host of different settings! I love playing games, doing crafts, and having as much fun as the kids. I spent much of my middle and high school years babysitting for local kids around the neighborhood. As a result, I often wound up pursuing jobs that involved childcare and childhood education. I spent four summers as a residential camp counselor and certified lifeguard working with children ages 7-16 years old. As per camp protocol, I was trained in a host of emergency situations including open water rescues, first aid, and weather related disaster. I also was directly responsible for a group of 5-7 campers at all times; safely escorting them from activity to activity while maintaining the fun and nostalgia of summer camp. Since graduating from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a degree Read more in Natural Resource Conservation, I have been substitute teaching, part-time at private school in Manhattan. I have conducted classes in social studies, math, english, reading, and technology for elementary and middle school age children. I am super comfortable cooking age appropriate meals (even for picky eaters!) and adaptable to the needs of your children. Want them to spend more time outside? We'll hit a park! Hoping for some homework tips or a study buddy? I can help! I am currently certified by the American RedCross in CPR/AED for Pro Rescuers, Responding to Emergencies and First Aid
