About Katherine

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! I'm a reliable, loving, and energetic caregiver with 8+ years of experience with children of all ages-from infants to elementary-aged kids-as well as children with autism and seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn and grow. I'm seeking part-time nanny, babysitting, or mother's helper work before starting my doctorate in Clinical Psychology this September. I'm available June 8-September 8 for 25-30 hours/week. I've nannied for 4 families and can provide excellent references in addition to Care. com reviews. I love toddlers and elementary-aged kids and can care for up to three children at a time. I hold a bachelor's in Psychology and Studio Art, have early childhood education coursework, and am CPR/First Aid certified. I have a reliable car, am a non-smoker, and would love to support your family this summer!

Kate was an absolute joy to have as our nanny. She’s fun, responsible, and genuinely engaged with my two elementary school-aged daughters. We all just loved her! She was always present and connected with them in a playful way. Kate has such a warm heart and a natural ease. I always felt confident leaving the kids with her, knowing they were not only safe but having a great time. Plus she is a great cook! We were so sad when she left for college and truly miss having her around. Anyone would be lucky to work with Kate!
