My name is Katherine Sloat I'm 37 years old, and I am a wife and proud mother of four wonderful daughters. I have been working in the childcare industry for 25 years, with 15 of those years dedicated specifically to being a nanny. Caring for children is truly my passion, and I feel blessed to have built a career around helping little ones grow, learn, and feel loved. I bring a calm and patient presence, along with strong organizational skills and a focus on keeping both children and their environment safe, clean, and structured. Families can count on me to be reliable and punctual, with the consistency children thrive on. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I enjoy supporting children through every stage of development. I am also very comfortable with pets, as I have both dogs and cats of my own.

Katie started to work for us during a transformative time in our lives. It was the birth of our fifth child that required someone with a specific skill set. Someone who was able to step into a house manager position. Katie was managing older kids, activities, maintaining the home, meal prepping, and being of assistance with a baby during the first year of life. She was always punctual, reliable, and went above and beyond to run the home as if it were here own. Everyday she was thinking ahead of ways to make our daily lives run more smoothly.

We were fortunate to have found Katherine (“Katie”) as our first nanny for our daughter. As first-time parents, we were worried and terrified of everything, but Katie was incredibly patient and reassuring with us from the very beginning. With her expertise, especially when it came to paced feeding for our daughter, Katie handled everything like a true professional. She played so well with our daughter and always interacted with her in such a warm, engaging, and attentive way. Because of how naturally and confidently Katie cared for our daughter, we immediately trusted her and never once doubted that she was in great hands. Katie was also excellent at following our schedule and was always flexible whenever we needed to make changes. She was very respectful of our household, consistently professional, and always punctual. On the rare occasion she was running even a minute late, she would text me immediately to let me know. One thing we especially appreciated was how thoughtful and hygienic she was without ever needing reminders. She would always wash her hands upon arriving and again before handling any milk or bottles. Katie is truly a gem and would be a fantastic addition to any family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy nanny.
