Hello! My name is Katie and I am available for work as a tutor, childcare professional, or house manager. I have over six years of experience working with families doing various types of education, house management, and childcare work. I have a master's in speech-language pathology, which I use in my full-time job as a speech/language therapist in an elementary school. I am a proficient Spanish speaker. My areas of expertise are in speech/language, reading, and writing. I am open to in-person or virtual work. I am fully vaccinated and prefer to work with a family who takes COVID precautions seriously. I am happy to wear a mask in your home. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats/dogs and cannot work in homes with pets.
