About Katherine

Nurturing children and supporting families through reliable, high-quality care is my true passion. With 10 years of child care experience, I offer a patient, calm, and approachable presence for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I hold a Minnesota teaching license for grades 1-5 and taught in the elementary school classroom for 15 years. I have stepped away from the elementary classroom and now work in higher ed. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules and maintaining open communication through daily verbal updates or quick texts. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or working on creative crafts, I love engaging children in active play. I am also happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and carpooling. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your child's growth and daily happiness. I do work full-time, but I'm available for weekday evenings, weekends, and overnight care.
