Hi! My name is Katie, and I have several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I began volunteering in my church nursery and childcare programs at the age of 12, which helped me develop a strong foundation in patience, responsibility, and caring for children in a safe and nurturing environment.
