Experience: 7 yrs
My name is Katia, and I work with infants and toddlers both in family settings and in a professional early childhood classroom. I believe children deserve love and respect from the very beginning of their lives, starting on the day they are born. I am fully present with each child, observing and trusting their natural rhythm of learning. I am a calm, patient, and kind caregiver, and families call me a "baby whisperer." I pay close attention to children's feelings and emotional experiences. It's deeply important to me that their hearts are filled with love and kindness, and their minds with curiosity and discovery. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, spending time in nature, and learning.
Katia is truly gifted when it comes to childcare! We have two children under four years, they adore her and as a result she babysits for us often. She always comes with thoughtful games and activities that inspire our kids' creativity and desire to learn. She is also compassionate, and very skilled at connecting with children emotionally, which means children respond to her well. She is responsible, dependable, and always on time. She is also an excellent communicator. We cannot recommend Katia highly enough--as already mentioned, she is really one of a kind.
