About Katie

I began babysitting when I was 13 for some of the neighbor kids. Having a big family with a lot of younger children around, really gave me the experience I needed for in the childcare field. As I grew older I would babysit for multiple families in the community I grew up in. I also ran my church nursery, and was the assistant director at Eagle Ridge Child Outreach at another church for the summer. After moving to Chicago in 2016 I began babysitting as needed for a family with a premature newborn in the evenings. I then moved on to a part time nanny position with a 6 month old until they moved when she was 18 months. I then worked as an as needed babysitter again while working at grocery store. I then moved on to overnights at Maryville Crisis Nursery and then full time day nannying with infants and toddlers and now nighttime nannying for newborns. I love working with kids and seeing them grow into their own abilities and personalities. I would love to help you be the best rested parent possible!

I highly recommend Katie to any family seeking exceptional night nanny support. She worked with us 2–3 nights a week for the first four months after our third daughter was born, bringing endless patience and the expertise in newborn care that allowed us to successfully navigate our whole family through the sleep-challenged newborn phase. Katie is exceptionally skilled in newborn feeding and soothing. She guided our baby from contact sleep to fully independent sleep by four months. She is the ultimate professional—always punctual, proactive in her communications, and diligent about cleaning bottles and diapering areas. Her daily night logs made tracking and adjusting our care plan effortless. Plus, her flexibility with our larger family dynamic was exceptional; she was just as willing to step in with our toddlers as she was with the baby. She is truly a gem!
