About Katie

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Katie. I have around 20 years of paid childcare experience, most recently in a Montessori setting. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education, and specialize in respectful care for infants and toddlers. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, have a current NC DCDEE qualifying letter, know baby sign language, and am skilled with toilet learning and supporting big feelings. I'm a mom of four (ages 4, 6, 8, & 10), and my friendly, curious 4-year-old son would accompany me. I bring a calm, nurturing approach rooted in Positive Discipline and viewing behavior as communication. I have my own reliable car, don't smoke, and am comfortable with pets. I love creating warm, nurturing environments where little ones feel safe, supported, and truly seen.

Katie is an exceptional nanny. She brought a warm, patient, Montessori-based approach that supported not only my daughter’s growth but mine as a parent as well. Even after we no longer needed a caregiver, we stayed in touch because my daughter absolutely adores her. Katie consistently created a calm, encouraging environment and approached every day with professionalism and genuine care. I highly recommend Katie to any family looking for a nurturing, reliable, Montessori-minded caregiver.
