Hi there! My name is Katherine Urbanski, my friends call me Kat. I have six years of babysitting experience kids aged 6 months to 6 years and I have spent most of my career in youth development. I was a United States Peace Corps volunteer in East Timor and taught English and geography to kids. I worked as an Americorps volunteer teaching nutrition to under served populations, grades 2-5th. Additionally, I taught English to Korean students ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade. My favorite job was at the Boys and Girls Club where I was the Teen Director for 2 years, working primarily with middle and high school students and then was promoted to Program Director, overseeing 4th grade to high school students. I planned,organized, and participated in all the field and camping trips during the summer and worked with staff to develop a curriculum for the kids during the Read more school year. I've always been passionate and committed to creating a unique and positive experiences for children. When developing programs at the BGC the needs of the kids were first priority. I have always loved working with kids, they bring something new to the table everyday, keeping life interesting and exciting, and allow me to be silly and goofy. I love to run, bike, and eat pierogies(I'm 50% polish:) and have fun! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. I hope to hear from you soon!
