About Katherine

Experience: 9 yrs

Hi! I'm a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) with a passion for working with children and supporting families. I've been caring for kids for over 9 years in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, and in-home environments. I have a strong background in child development, including age-appropriate milestones, behavior, and safety. This allows me to provide care that is not only fun and engaging, but also supportive of each child's growth, independence, and well-being. Safety is always my top priority, and I'm attentive, proactive, and mindful in every environment. My background as a CCLS means I'm especially skilled at building trust with children of all ages, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. I have experience working with both well children and those with medical or developmental needs, so I'm very adaptable, patient, and attentive to each child's unique personality, learning style, and routine.
