Hello there! I have 4+ years of direct service with children in classrooms settings. I have certifications including Child/Infant CPR, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens, Food Handlers, Safe Sleep for Infants, and a negative TB test. My care includes services such as light housekeeping, pet support (no reptiles), transportation, and all-inclusive childcare. I prioritize fun, creativity, and safety. I incorporate a mix of nature based, Reggio, and therapeutic approaches while fostering an open-mindedness towards embracing alternative philosophies. I possess strong communication skills, am punctual, excel in problem solving, and aim to reduce resource barriers for families and their youth. I have recently moved up to Bellingham after completing my Master's of Education in Educational Foundations, Leadership, and Policy masters program at the University of Washington in Seattle. Please reach out to discuss how I can be of support to your little one(s) and family!
Coming from out of town, Katya made me feel very comfortable leaving my 17 mo old boy with her, for 8 hours. During that time, she was responsible for feeding, creating and monitoring activities, as well as following bedtime routine. She has an extensive educational and hands-on background in child care. I was impressed with her ability to establish initial contact with my son when meeting for the first time. Very responsible, organized, and great communication. HIGHLY recommend and will hire again next time I’m in town!
