Hi I’m Katy ! I’m a full time flight attendant part time baby sitter and pet sitter as well. I adore kids they tend to be my favorite passengers on the plane and I love to help out family’s when I can! I was a nanny in high school for a couple families as well as a regular babysitter for others and I wanted to get back to it!
“Katy was extremely kind and took great care of my two kids. They played and she listened to them intently. When I got home my kids were so excited to tell me all about all the fun they had with her. She also updated me on how they were doing without me asking for it🩷 Thank you so much again!”
Hala $22 per hour for 1 child
I absolutely love kids! I’m a mom of 4 and a former teacher, principal, and superintendent. Patience and compassion are my strengths, while still maintaining control through calm. I savor time spent with kids of all ages, with babies being the sweetest. I also enjoy spending time with and taking care of toddlers all the way to teenagers. Yes, I said teenagers! I have a way of connecting with them and building appropriate relationships. In addition to caring for kids, I can help with homework. My teaching experience is in middle and high school English Language Arts, Math, Biology, and Science. My tutoring experience is in all the age groups with an obvious focus on the areas I’ve taught. Other than the content, one of my strengths while teaching was in classroom management, because I have the ability to use expectations, logical consequences, and relationships to impact student behaviors. And one of the most effective and compassionate, yet effective ways of managing inappropriate behaviors is through using Restorative Practices. I have many years of experience addressing child behavior this way and helping people, both kids and adults through conflict using this approach.
