Find experienced child care providers in Springville, IA

I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

I am a compassionate and dedicated childcare professional with over seven years of experience supporting children’s academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development in a variety of settings, including homes, schools, and clinical environments. As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I have hands-on experience using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques to support children with autism and developmental needs in a patient, understanding, and nurturing way. I take pride in creating safe, engaging, and positive environments where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow. I enjoy planning fun, age-appropriate activities that promote learning, creativity, and confidence, while also helping guide positive behavior and strong social skills. Building trusting relationships with both children and their families is very important to me. I value open communication, reliability, and a warm, caring approach to ensure each child feels seen, heard, and supported.

I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly.

My name is Kathryn "Katie" Smith! I love working with kids of all ages. My best skill is being able to get on the children's level as a friend and teacher. My favorite activity to do with children is drawing or dancing! I believe the best way to teach kids is hand over hand actions and to hold them accountable without anger toward them.
