About Katie

Hi, I'm Katie, 41, with a Bachelor's in Journalism from Mizzou and 2 decades of childcare experience. I've worked PT during the school year and FT in summers, caring for up to 4 kids at once with responsibilities like school pick-ups, activities, meals, and homework help. My first Care job in 2017 was with two boys (then 6 and 7, now 15 and 16). I still help their family with overnights and even joined them on a trip to Thailand! I also have extensive infant/toddler experience, having worked with over 8 Care families with children under 2, plus teaching preschool and working in daycare. I'm CPR/First Aid trained for all ages, fully vaccinated, have a reliable car, and as the oldest of 4, I'm adaptable and calm under pressure. If you have questions about my one 1-star review, I'd be glad to explain - it was a one-time job when I was sick and I mistakenly didn't hit send in my text to cancel early that morning, several hours in advance. I'd love the chance to work with your family!
