About Katie
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Katie and I moved to DSM one year ago for my husband's job with the DSM fire department. Currently I am a nanny for two children under age 3 with another one on the way! I have 1 year experience as a preschool teacher, 4 years experience providing respite services for kids and adults with special needs and 2 years experience as a daycare coordinator for a center for kids and adults with special needs. I have a BA in psychology and a minor in family studies from UNI. After college I worked in mental health and at a residential treatment center for 1 year. My hobbies include yoga, cooking, and watching movies. I love being active, creative, and being outdoors! Contact me if you need an evening or weekend babysitter!
