Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a single mom to 2 kids and 6 pets! I have so much love to give, and hope I can give some to your kids too! I was working at an in-home daycare from 2017-2020, but we were closed down due to Covid-19, and my boss then made the decision not to re-open. I LOVED my job mostly bc I loved the kids! I used to own my own daycare back in early 2005- late 2006 but moved to PA from NH and had to close it down. I spent the past 3 years nannying for 2 different families from the daycare- part time each- for kids the ages of 4 months, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 (who are now 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9!) To give you an idea how I run things- a typical day will look Read more like this: I like to keep the kids on a routine- morning free play, snack, walk (if the neighborhood allows for this with sidewalks etc), craft or coloring sheet/worksheet, lunch, dance “party” usually follows lunch, could be a video with a dance they love like freeze dance or shake your sillies out or we’ll play a board game or do flash cards or puzzles, playtime, storytime, nap time for littles (if there are any), harder craft/games for older kids who don’t nap if they want one, quiet activities if not, then end of nap time (2 hours), afternoon snack, outside play until time to go home if there’s time left (chalk, bubbles, hopscotch etc). And I bring all the stuff for crafts and games and outside play etc. I also utilize a “prize bucket” if the kids have trouble with listening or getting into routine with the rest of the kids (if there are any). I firmly believe in positive reinforcement over punishment so for every time they show good listening skills they get to pick a prize out of the bucket. 😊 Please see my resume for my current job responsibilities, and I hope to hear from you!

She never arrived for the first night we had booked her and she never responded to my text. She also had prior communication issues with delays in getting back to me.
