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 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!
