About Katherine

My name is Katherine but friends/family call me Kat. I'm a NYC native who has personal and professional experience with youth, domestic and abroad. I'm a proud aunt to twins with Down syndrome. They're on the autism spectrum and one has apraxia of speech. They've always required a team to aid them. Luckily, I'm part of that cohort. Assembling our team was not easy and continues to evolve with changing schedules. That's why I'm passionate about my work. Being on both sides of this industry, I know how imperative it is to find people you can rely on. As the adage goes, "It takes a village..." I would love to chat and see if I'm a good fit for your village. Fostering a child's growth and development is my greatest passion, a calling I've pursued for 18 years. My approach to care is rooted in patience, creativity, and a genuine love for supporting families. I've worked as a babysitter, nanny/travel nanny, drama teacher, English teacher, camp assistant director/ counselor, and tutor.
