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!
My girls adore Kat and will often request "playdates" if we go too long between visits. Kat's genuine love and curiosity towards children and childhood education shine through in the way she engages them with art, sensory projects, general silliness, trips to the library. Kat has become a beautiful and trusted support for our family.
