About Kate

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Throughout the past decade, I have had a variety of childcare jobs including after school programs, day camps, regular babysitting, and most recently as a nanny for a few different families. While I have experience with a range of ages, I especially enjoy working with infants, toddlers, & preschool age children. When on the job, safety and well being is my number one priority. I highly value forming genuine connections, getting to know children as individuals in order to provide the most supportive and nurturing care. Upon that foundation, the real fun begins! I strive to encourage and support the natural curiosity, exploration, and creativity that is unique to every child. Some of my favorite activities are reading aloud, arts and crafts, tactile toys/projects and outdoor play!

We met Kate off of care.com last year and she has been such a wonderful babysitter for our kids. My 2 year old son is a complete animal and she is so sweet and patient with him, and my 4 year old daughter is obsessed with her. We have used Kate for lots of date nights, and recently had her stay for a long weekend while we traveled out of town. She is smart and professional, always on time, cleans up after herself and leaves the house better than when we left which as a parent is always wonderful. We love Kate and would recommend her to anyone with really any age of child.
