About Katherine

I have years of childcare and role-modeling experience and currently volunteer as a literacy tutor with the PAL program at the Newport Beach Library. With a decade of babysitting experience, I have earned families' trust to care for children in ages ranging from 5 months to 13 years old, and up to five children at a time. When I babysit, I organize the night so it's filled with conversation, fun, and activities. We play imaginary games, board games, and sports so TV doesn't end up being the main event, unless it's movie night! My style is flexible based on what the kids enjoy, and I use encouragement and positive reinforcement, and I reward honesty rather than punishing mistakes. I try to be inclusive and choose activities that everyone can enjoy together. I enjoy reading to kids before bed, and I try to make responsibilities feel fun or motivating so there's time to play afterward.
