Kate is an excellent caregiver. She cared for our 5 year old son for four afternoons (including picking him up from school) every week for about a year (and over the summer she watched him for most of the day). Kate is fun, imaginative, playful, loving, patient, kind, reliable, and responsible. She does a great job of both being flexible and setting clear boundaries. Our whole family absolutely adores her. We would highly recommend Kate for any job.
