Hi, my name is Katie. I'm 37 years old and I absolutely love working with children. I'm a low-tech/no-tech nanny, and unless specifically directed by the parents, I prefer not to use technology (i. e. television, computer, video games or screen time using phones) for entertainment while children are in my care. I am much more in favor of using card/board games, drawing/coloring, or more interactive games like hide-and-seek, house or tag. I have always really enjoyed working with kids, and have experience with children of all ages, through nanny/babysitting jobs as well as working in preschools and church nurseries throughout the years. To me, babysitting is not simply a job, it's an opportunity to get to know children in my community, help them where it's needed, and assist their parents in keeping a home running smoothly. I don't smoke and am certified in CPR and First Aid. I love Read more animals and don't have allergies, except occasional seasonal outdoor allergies. I cannot lift more than 35 pounds, per instructions from my chiropractor. I'm also a Certified Nurse Aide and have worked primarily with seniors and special needs' children for eleven years and was formerly a Certified Pharmacy Technician, with three years of pharmacy experience. I realized that my passion was in caregiving and have returned to continue helping my community this way. I cannot offer driving services, as I don't have a car, however, I would be able to reliably get to work through utilizing Uber and Lyft. I'm open to daytime, weekend, respite and/or recurring work. If you have any questions, or would like to get in touch, feel free to reach out and ask! I'd love to hear from you! I started a part-time job, work 2-3 days per week. Most Tuesdays and Thursdays are open, although sometimes it’s Wednesdays and Fridays, instead. Most Saturdays are currently open during afternoons and date nights, and most Sundays are open for mornings and afternoons.
