My name is Katie. I have worked as a lead teacher for a long time in different childcare centers in Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, and I also have experience as a babysitter. I hold a CDA (Child Development Associate) and an associate degree in Child Development Science from Washtenaw Community College. I also have a Bachelor's degree in German Language and Literature and am currently completing my Bachelor's degree in Children and family Studies at Eastern Michigan University, with one year remaining. I am fluent in Persian and Turkish. My interests include reading, sports, swimming and spending time with children. I have a 14-year-old son and a supportive husband who is also a student. I am committed to fostering a love of learning and curiosity in children through a holistic, child-centered approach that supports their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
