My name is Katelynn, and I am 25 years old with over 7 years of nannying and childcare experience in Germany, the Bahamas, and New York/New Jersey. Caring for children has never felt like just a job to me—it’s something I’ve genuinely loved for as long as I can remember. My passion for working with children led me to earn my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Care and Social Work in Germany, where I worked in a kindergarten while also nannying and babysitting. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and building meaningful relationships with wonderful families along the way. One of my favorite parts of being a nanny is becoming someone children can trust, feel comfortable with, and look forward to spending time with each day. I love getting outside for walks, playground adventures, nature outings, and other active Read more activities. I also enjoy reading stories, singing songs, doing arts and crafts, and getting creative in the kitchen. Lately, I’ve been having so much fun trying new recipes and baking, and I love involving children in age-appropriate cooking and baking activities whenever possible. I would describe myself as patient, nurturing, dependable, and easygoing. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and simply enjoy being kids. I grew up in a bilingual household and speak both English and German fluently, and I’m currently learning Spanish. I love learning about different cultures and bringing that curiosity and openness into my work with children. Over the years, my career has taken me from Germany to the Bahamas and throughout the New York area, allowing me to work with many incredible families and gain a wide range of childcare experience. While I am grateful for those opportunities, I have now made New York and New Jersey my permanent home and am looking to settle down here long-term. Because of that, I am hoping to find a family I can truly grow with, build a lasting relationship with, and support for years to come. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about your family and what you’re looking for in a caregiver. I look forward to hearing from you!
