About Katie

***Summer Availability Only*** ***Care takes place in my pet-free, smoke-free home*** Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on every family I support. With 10 years of experience, I provide calm, patient, and creative care for up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. My background includes long-term substitute teaching at VWCS, music education, Big Brothers Big Sisters, First Aid Training, and CPR training. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a friendly, approachable environment. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I love keeping children active and learning. I prioritize clear communication and will always follow your preferred method to update you on your child's day. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family's daily life.
