Hello! I am a young professional living in the greater Boston area. I have worked at a Children's Hospital for three and a half years and loved working with patients and their families. Prior to that, I was the Director of Education for the after school performing arts program at a theater in Foxboro. Children in the program ranged in age from 2 to 18 and I was in charge of care between classes as well as protocol for behavior and attendance. Since the age of 14, I have been a mentor in after school program and have babysat children as young as 3 months old. I enjoy seeing children grow and develop and discover new skills! I use interactive play and praise to create a positive, supportive and engaging environment.
I would highly recommend Kathleen as a responsible, reliable sitter. She has watched our 2 year old daughter on numerous occasions over the past two years and she is wonderful with her. She truly takes the time and care to ensure that our daughter is comfortable and enjoying herself while we are out. Kathleen plays with her, is animated, and our daughter just loves her. She displays an understanding of young children and caters to her wants and needs. She would feed her, change her diaper, and put her down for the night without any issues. She's also great at reading stories and making sure our daughter is engaged. We also have a dog and Kathleen takes great care with him too and he gets excited when he sees her. She's helped out with him since he was a puppy and he's always giving her kisses or electing to take a nap on her lap. Kathleen is a great sitter to have and I recommend her services with confidence.
