Hi, I'm Katie! I have 7 years of babysitting/ 1 year of nanny experience! I have experience watching 4 kids at a time, twins, and working with kids with special needs! I'm Red Cross certified in babysitting, adult/pediatric/infant First Aid, CPR, and AED. Some activities I love doing with kids are playing sports/games, doing crafts, reading books, playing make-believe, and playing outside! I value getting down on their level and doing whatever they are interested in! I have a car and can take kids to do activities. A bit about me is: I am a figure skater, I play guitar and bass, and I'm currently studying at the University of Richmond to become an elementary special education teacher! I work as a nanny so I'm currently only doing babysitting. Please message me if I could be a good fit for your family :)
