About Katie

*Now only available for evening & weekend babysitting* I have 10 years of experience working with children babysitting/nannying, and 1 year of experience as a caregiver for a non-verbal 27-year-old woman with Rhetts syndrome, who's mental development was diagnosed to approximately age 3. I am an energetic rock-climber with a passion for the outdoors, and I love reading and creative writing in my free time. I adore being a loving and guiding person in children's lives by engaging in age-appropriate creative play, and by supporting their emotional needs with understanding of the nuance in the non-linear aspects of development. I both create structure for children, as well as give space for expressing themselves and processing their emotions. I aim to help establish a strong sense of confidence and self-worth in children I work with. Their mental and physical health is of the utmost importance to me, and it would be an honor to care for your children.
