Katie Banks
Reference Checked I'm 31 years oldMy name is Katie and this winter is my fifth winter season. At 29, I am a little older than most here but with age comes wisdom! (or so I'm told). I moved here in 2019 for a ski season and never really left! I am now a French resident and have worked as a live-in nanny for a family in Annecy, looking after a 3.5-year-old and a 14-month-old. I now work as a freelance nanny for families visiting for holidays and locals looking for childcare on weekends and during school holidays every summer and winter season. I am comfortable with children of all ages and have my own car. A little more background on me should you wish to get to know me a little better... I graduated from Northumbria University in 2017 and worked in marketing in the online gaming industry since. After 2 years I decided the 9-5 life isn't for me and made the decision to leave the Isle of Man to explore the world some more. During my time in education, I always had a weekend job and worked with children through charity work and babysitting. I volunteered for a charity called 'Friends of Chernobyl's Children' where I would take groups of children aged 6-11 on organised days out, chaperoning approximately six children at one time. Before leaving the Isle of Man, I volunteered with my local Junior Achievement charity, mentoring groups of 6th form students in their Young Enterprise competition. Apart from skiing and travel, my other passion is netball. Unfortunately, it's not a sport I can practice out here but I'm already looking forward to the summer months when I can put that goal defence bib on and get back on the court! I hope this gives you a good insight into who I am but if you have any questions or would like to get to know me better, please don't hesitate to contact me!
