Hi there! I'm Katie. I've been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and I've spent the past few years in NYC working with kids and teens in various positions. I'm also an incoming graduate student at Smith College, where I'll be training to become an adolescent therapist. For the past 2 years, I've taught social and living skills to children with disabilities, primarily those on the autism spectrum, and supported teens as a wellbeing companion on a chat-based platform for emotional support. Before that, I worked in the preschool program at UC Santa Barbara while earning my BA in Psychology and Sociology. I love playing piano, helping with homework, birdwatching, dancing, playing sports, and making art. I'm also a big advocate for time away from screens. (And as a former waitress at Alice's Tea Cup, I know how to host a mean tea party!) If it sounds like I'd be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you -- I can't wait to meet your family!
Katie is, without a doubt, a total miracle worker. She watched our 4-year-old neurodivergent son, who at times is a complete handful. From day one, she brought a level of warmth, patience, and pure enthusiasm that made a lasting improvement in our son. She connected with him instantly in a way that felt so natural and deeply caring. Katie was always on time, incredibly organized, and brought a positive, radiant energy into our home every single day. We couldn't have asked for a better nanny. Seriously, stop looking and hire Katie. She is great.
