Hello, My name is Kat, I am 37 years old. I have been a professional nanny for the past several years and I just recently relocated to Austin to be closer to family. I currently live in the Montopolis area. A little bit of my history: Prior to moving to Austin, I lived and worked in New York. I have a background in the arts and childcare, including working with children of all ages as well as teaching art to preschoolers through 3rd grade. As a naturally calm and patient person, Infant and toddler care has become my specialty as well as working with children on the autism spectrum. I'm very comfortable and experienced with fussy infants and difficult eaters. Growing up in rural Texas where dirt roads and grassy pastures with chickens and cows were the norm gave me a rich and unique perspective with a love for nature Read more and simplicity. Living in New York for the past 20 years has given me a love of exploring different cultures, museums, green spaces, and traveling. I love working with infants and toddlers and being a part of their early learning and development stages. Young people have such magical imaginations and have taught me to find joy in the smallest of things. I enjoy cooking, reading, and staying physically active. I still enjoy favorites from my childhood including Disney movies, making mud pies, Little Golden Books, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! And Oh, The Places You'll Go. I'm a fun, artistic, nurturing, and creative person who is especially organized and responsible. I can't wait to meet your family!
