About me

Hello! My name is Katharine “Kat” Harris and I am a long term nanny and caregiver living in Manhattan! I have a Bachelors of Music from John’s Hopkins University and a Masters in Theater from Boston Conservatory at Berkeley College of music. Though I adore music and performance, being one of six children, I have been a caregiver for as long as I can remember! am an empathetic, energetic and fun nanny who loves the balance of everyday structure/routine with exciting and creative adventure. Though not formally trained, I love using a few Montessori principles in my work, fostering independence, language, fine motor skills, and executive functioning from an early age! As a musician and performer, I enjoy cultivating an environment with children that is filled with music, dancing and silliness. I have been described as an affectionate and loving person, who speaks to children as equals.

A priority for me is making sure I create a space for children where they feel safe. Every emotion is a valid one as long as it is expressed in a productive way. I encourage constant communication about feelings to enhance the emotional intelligence and self awareness.
I take holidays and birthdays very seriously and try to bring joy, excitement, and a positive approach to everything we adventure and embark on each day!
