About Katherine

I'd describe my personality as respectful, playful, attentive, &warm. I have ADHD, with its characteristic measure of time-blindness: becoming immersed in play & work. I utilize lists & set reminders. I work, steadily & skillfully. Educating kids on the wonders of nature is my favorite! I love their "beginner's eyes" taking in everything w/curious delight. I'm committed to their all-around safety - practicing observation, awareness, &healthy boundaries. I respect the wide array of families &enjoy learning from others. I have raised a neurodivergent child. In a job, I need respect, a fair wage, &reasonably negotiable schedule. I need a kind environment, as I listen deeply & keenly feel others' feelings. I've babysat, taught, led activities, & been responsible for day & overnight children's camps. I was year-round Assistant Director @ Camp Hanover in Mechanicsville for 5yrs. I like to hike, bike, eat great food, sing, garden, tinker, & be w/friends & family
