About Kate
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I have had the joy of watching children for over 15 years! Babysitting/nannying was my job throughout high school/college/post grad. I now work from home for a large health insurance company, and love to babysit when I can. Since I do work from home, I am able to care for your little ones mornings/evenings/weekend days and nights and even do pickups in between. I have my own car and a college degree in English. I'm a very active person - I've ran several half and full marathons, so I don't enjoy sitting still. Running, climbing, jumping - I'm still a kid at heart. I've been told I'm a pretty decent cook and like to keep it healthy, but a little ice cream never hurt anyone :) I have also tutored in the past if that is an interest as well.

I met Kate 10 years ago. I had called her best friend to babysit and she was unable to and gave me Kate's name. At the time, my daughter was about to turn 2. Today she is 11 and I have a son who is 8. We continue to have a relationship with Kate to this day. She is incredibly responsible, even-keeled, with an amazing head on her shoulders. Even as a teenager she was incredibly grounded and a very hard worker. As an adult, I find her to be the same way. I don't know many 27 year olds that have their heads on as straight as she does. I always knew that my kids would be well taken care of AND that they would have fun...no sitting on her cell phone ignoring the kids. They played games, went to playgrounds, bike rides. She is as good with them today, as she was when they were smaller. I recommend Kate highly (and have) to anyone who asks. I trust her implicitly with my kids. They adore her. Obviously, I think very highly of her as well.
