I am a self-employed artist and early educator, currently putting myself through college for Human Development and solidifying my own business. My current goal is to save enough money to open a craft studio where I can host my classes and workshops daily, while completing my current degree and preparing for the next one! I would love to be working consistently with one or two families part-time, so I can have peace of mind about my living expenses and college tuition, while having the time and flexibility to complete said degree and continue to expand my business. I have been teaching preschool, Montessori, and art classes (all-ages) for over a decade. I have been steadily employed with a family with 3 children (who will now all be attending school full-time and not needing my services) for almost two years, and fill in any available hours caring for various children and pets in the area, hosting my art workshops/classes/events, as well as volunteering at multiple local libraries!
Kat has been a wonderful part of our family’s weekday evenings for over a year. She’s been an incredible help with the evening routine — making dinner, helping our three kids wind down, and getting them ready for bed. Our home is always calmer and tidier when she’s here, which has been such a gift during the busy work week. Beyond the day-to-day support, she brings something special to our home. She’s an artist, and our kids absolutely loved the creative projects she would do with them — from painting to sculpting with clay and beyond. She’s patient, warm, and has a natural way of connecting with children. We always knew they were in good hands when she was with them. Highly recommend!!
