About Katharine
Experience: 1 yr
I'd describe myself as hardworking, playful, and earnest. I have a PhD in biology, and work full-time as a research scientist at Stanford. I am a parent, and I have loved watching my daughter grow and learn. Every age is wonderful in its own way. I think there's something incredible about watching a child learn a new skill, and realize their own abilities. I also just love getting down on the floor, meeting them where they are, and playing within their own world. I have felt very comfortable around children for a very long time and have babysat for friends and family for a few decades. In my spare time, I love to read! I also love spending time in nature, hiking and camping, swimming, making music, writing, and dancing..
Most recent review
Katharine is always kind and patient. My child enjoys playing and talking with her. Over the past two months, we have noticed significant improvement in our child’s communication skills and social-emotional development. Highly recommended!
