Katie has dedicated her life to working with children. Her passion has inspired her to continually educate herself and stay up to date on the latest in child care, development, and safety.
One of Katherine’s nominators had this to say about her:
“In asking myself why nominate Katie Dallmeyer, my mind went in 20 different directions at once. Katie is the nanny at 26 I wish I had been at 18 or even now at 41. Katie has pushed me to be a better nanny, by changing how I respond to my charges, helping me communicate with them and their families in a constructive and non-accusatory way, making me want to educate myself and push myself to learn things outside my comfort zone to become a better nanny and person.”
