Meet Katherine

Hi! My name is Kate, and I'm a super energetic, loving, and well-qualified nanny who would love to care for your kids! I have over 20 years of experience babysitting, nannying, and managing an elementary school after-care program. I have worked with everything from newborns to teenagers, with multiples and special needs children, and I love it all! I am working on going back to school for a degree in Child Development and Psychology, because I love learning about the way kids' little brains work and absorb everything. I am extremely committed to finding fun ways of learning things while getting our hands dirty! Sensory play and active learning are extremely important to me. After all, you're paying me to spend time with your kid, not plop them in front of a TV! I am a firm believer that exploring outside and creating activities and things to play with are Read more way more important than any DVD or video games. I was previously the director of an elementary after school program so I have experience with homework help/tutoring, field trip planning, and rainy day activities. I'm fully qualified to braid hair, play kickball, dig for bugs - whatever your kids are into, I'm game too! I love pets of all kinds and I have a reliable car and clean driving record. I have tons of references available upon request. Please contact me if you'd like more information! Thanks, Kate
