About Katherine
Experience: 4 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have extensive experience teaching and caring for children ages 3 through middle school. I currently work as an occupational therapy assistant at the preschool and elementary level. In this position, I have developed substantial experience with special needs/neurodivergent kids. My expertise lies in helping adapt and modify tasks so that all kids can be successful! Prior to this, I worked as a babysitter for a Kindergarten student with sensory needs and ADHD, cared for two sisters aged 3 + 7, and acted as the after-school coordinator and life skills educator at a community center in rural Kentucky, where I was responsible for planning both indoor and outdoor activities, homework help, and preparing nutritious snacks. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Kate is an excellent caregiver. She cared for our 5 year old son for four afternoons (including picking him up from school) every week for about a year (and over the summer she watched him for most of the day). Kate is fun, imaginative, playful, loving, patient, kind, reliable, and responsible. She does a great job of both being flexible and setting clear boundaries. Our whole family absolutely adores her. We would highly recommend Kate for any job.
