Hi I’m Kate! I’m a public health major at Virginia tech, as well as CPR certified and an EMT. I have worked with little kids a ton in both a classroom setting and babysitting setting as I have a 10 year old little sister. When she was born my mom had broken both of her wrists and her leg, I got to take a week off and help with the new baby! I’m very engaging with little kids no matter what the age and encourage learning through playing. I am an avid reader and love reading to the kids I babysit and I used to be a student teacher in and english class. I also was a Spanish tutor and math tutor for kids of older ages!
