Booked by 1 family in New Almaden, CA

Hi, I'm Kat. I have over 20 years of experience in childcare. I graduated from UC Berkeley and currently pursuing a degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have experience in nutritional science as well as childhood education. I have served as a nanny for children ranging from newborn to middle school. I enjoy engaging children in the natural world of plants and creatures, reading, science, arts and crafts, sports, and fun games. As an instructional assistant, I have experience in tutoring and homework help. I can make baking and cooking a fun and interactive activity for children. I am CPR certified by the American Red Cross. As a cat parent myself, I have some experience with pet care-taking as well.

I am a Child Development graduate from SJSU with 5 years of experience as an after-school teacher. I have 1 year of professional nanny experience, and a couple years of non-professional babysitting for family and friends. I have experience designing and implementing developmentally appropriate activities for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including art, math, and English/literacy-based learning. I also enjoy building strong relationships with children and families while supporting learning, creativity, and emotional growth. I am calm, nurturing, and reliable, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive environment. I also value open communication and consistency in daily routines. Looking forward to connecting with families in the future!

She had an endless supply of creative activities that kept them entertained and happy. We especially appreciated how she knew when to check in with us while still giving the kids her full attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. ”
