Hi! From Wisconsin, I moved to NY to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, class of 2020. I started babysitting at 14 and continued throughout high school. My senior year I worked in a kindergarten class and helped the kids with sounding out their letters, learning shapes, as well as encouraging them to make observations and ask questions. Post college, I nannied for several families in the city with kids ranging from 5 months to 13 years. Depending on the kids, our days consisted of bottles, diaper changes, baking, making dinner, singing songs or homework help. I love a good movie night, but also value screen free play and my background in theater helps to come up with exciting pretend play scenes or bring nursery rhymes to life. The last few years I have been between NY and Hawaii, working on a non profit organic farm and helping raise my nieces (3y&1y). I'm back in the city now and I'm excited to use all of my previous experiences to provide excellent care to your family!
If you have the rare opportunity to hire Mary Kate as a caregiver, don’t hesitate! MK has been with our family for the past three years and has been such a caring, dependable, and thoughtful presence in our lives. She has cared for our 14 daughter and 12 year old son with so much patience, kindness, and genuine attention. She consistently goes above and beyond, helping my son with acting, baking, math homework, and, most importantly, being someone he truly enjoys spending time with. She has become so much more than a sitter to our family. Mary Kate is truly a rare find, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
