About Katie
Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, families! My name is Katie and I am hoping to connect with a great family this summer! I work as a special education teacher during the school year, but am available full-time during the summer months (June 13th - August 9th). I am a college graduate with dual degrees in psychology and elementary education (and a concentration in special education!). I have been teaching for 10 years and babysitting (ages newborn to 13) for 20 years. I have plenty of experience with newborns (making bottles, sleep schedules, etc.). I love pets and I have my own car with a clean driving record. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you :)

I have know Katie since she was about 7. She has been our neighbor and friend ever since. When Katie was little she came over almost every day to play with my son who was less than a year old. When my daughter was born, she would hold her for hours. By the time Katie was nine, I hired her as a mother's helper. I always trusted her with my children. She played with them, did crafts with them and taught them age appropriate skills. She was always patient and understanding with my autistic son. He was an extremely difficult child and she never got frustrated. She was our babysitter until she went away to college. Part of the reason that she studied special education was because of her experience with my son. I would trust her with even the most difficult child. She is always engaged with the children she watches. Having a child with special needs is difficult, Katie has been a blessing to my family.
