About Katherine

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! I'm a reliable, caring, and energetic caregiver with 8+ years of experience working with children of all ages-from infants to elementary schoolers-including children with autism. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and grow. I've worked with multiple families and can provide excellent references, along with strong Care. com reviews. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and especially enjoy working with toddlers and elementary-aged kids. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Studio Art, have early childhood education coursework, and am CPR/First Aid certified. I also have a reliable car and am a non-smoker. Availability: I've secured summer positions and am currently looking for occasional or one-time babysitting jobs. I'm available Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays until May 17th-great for date nights or short-term needs!

Kate was such a great help to our family! We hired her this summer for weekend childcare while my husband and I were working at our small business, and she was wonderful with our three kids (12 months, 4 years, and 9 years old). She was a natural at playing with the kids, caring for our baby, helping with meals/ cooking, and cleaning up afterward. She is very trustworthy, communicative, and dependable. We highly recommend her for childcare and will continue to book her as needed!
