Hi all! My name is Kaitie, and I have been working with kids for nearly 20 years. I started my babysitting career in middle school, working for local families in my town. I then began working as a camp counselor in high school, which continued until I graduated from college. I also held a part-time nanny job while I was in high school for a family near my hometown. After college, I was a full-time nanny for an infant and a 2-year-old until I started teaching English to children ages 3 to 16. I have now taught children for 8 years! I have experience watching kids of all ages. My camp experience has given me the tools to effectively have fun with kids in creative and unique ways while keeping them safe in the environment. Yet, my nannying and teaching experience has given me the tools to introduce children to Read more a productive learning environment in the comfort of their own home.

Katie came on such short notice and was simply fabulous. She played tag and games with the kids and read them books. It was a wonderful experience and the true test: asking our kids the next day if they liked Katie. The answer was a resounding YES!
