This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 20 yrs
I'd describe my personality as ambitious, authentic and easygoing. I like working with kids because no two days are the same, just how no two kids are the same. I love learning their personalities, likes/dislikes and how they think. It's extremely rewarding work and helping families by giving them a safe, caring option to leave their children is fulfilling. I'm looking for a job that provides consistency, has open communication and my biggest thing is appreciation from the parents. I started working with kids when I was 13, I became a mother's helper. Then at 15, I started babysitting alone. At 17, I had my first full time nannying position. In my spare time, I like to sleep. One thing you should know about me is I will always go above and beyond for the families I work for and try to be as accommodating as possible. My skills include patience, problem solving and communication.

We hired Katie to watch our 10mo while we were visiting family for 2 weeks. She was extremely kind to our son (who loved her) and she was mindful of our wishes with respect to his care. She was very attentive and engaging with him during his wake windows (playing with toys, reading books, etc). She comes with a wealth of experience with kids beyond what most people are likely to need which is comforting to a parent. We would recommend Katie to anyone and wish she lived out by us!
