About Katherine

Experience: 10 yrs

With an interest in human development and family relationships, I became a babysitter in my early adolescent years and have loved working with children ever since. When I was 14 years old, I completed a local babysitting workshop and soon after, began working as a babysitter for two young girls. As I grew older, they added three new members to the family. I babysat for them throughout high school and traveled home from college on weekends their parents were out of town. During college, I began working as a babysitter for a family with three young children, and recently completed my full-time nanny position with them. After working for them for three years, the oldest girl is now eight, the middle boy is five and the youngest girl is three. I love working with children of all ages, but thrive during the younger years, newborn to five. My interest in childhood development make nannying jobs a true learning experience. I enjoy playing outside, trips to the park and local venues for children, reading books, playing pretend, attending sporting events and keeping daily routines. I'm open minded and have a big heart and look forward to working with new families.

Most recent review

This graceful, gentle and intelligent young woman has benefitted and blessed our family in innumerable ways. We did not know how much we needed her until she came into our lives. We trust her with our three daughters without limits. She is discreet, nonjudgmental and is respectful of the boundaries and guidelines we have set for our children. She truly cares for and loves our children. Katherine wants the best for them and is willing to go the extra mile for their care. In addition to all of her attributes - she's an incredibly hard worker. If the children are occupied you can find her straightening, doing dishes, laundry, sweeping or preparing activities. Anyone who hires this woman is a lucky, lucky employer.
