Infant & Toddler Development Specialist I'm a professional nanny and early childhood specialist with over seven years of experience supporting infants, toddlers, and early learners. My background includes infant support, toddler-classroom teaching, curriculum planning, and behavior-support strategies that help children feel secure, confident, and understood. I bring a calm, structured presence into the home and create predictable routines that support emotional regulation, independence, and developmental growth. Families describe me as reliable, warm, and highly intentional in my approach. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children thrive - and where parents feel supported and at ease. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported through consistent routines and warm guidance. I'm committed to partnering with families to create a peaceful, structured environment where little ones can grow confidently.
Katina has been caring for my daughter for the past 2 years, since she was 1 year old. During this time, Katina has been incredibly helpful with my daughter’s creative and cognitive development; from helping with potty training to planning engaging activities that encourage exploration and learning. Now that we’ve welcomed a new addition to our family, we fully trust Katina to care for our son as well. She is efficient, kind, and truly great with children. Additionally, Katina is very punctual and a great communicator. We highly recommend her for any future childcare opportunities.
