About Mary Kate
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, I'm MK. Working with kids has been my thing for my entire career and the focus of my education. I have lived and worked in LA as both a career nanny and preschool teacher since 2011, and I have previous experience in camp counseling and youth leadership in Massachusetts. I am a kid at heart; I love to play, imagine, and learn with the children I work with, but I also know when to turn on adult mode. I value safety above all, but think falling down once or twice is an important part of the development. I emphasize making sure every child I work with is able to feel seen, heard, and understood. Fostering a safe space and relationship is the first, and necessary step for our children to healthily learn and grow.
Most recent review
Hands down the best babysitter you will find. We met here through a family at our school, and she has been caring for our two children (infant through school-age) for three years. She engages the children in their intellectual development, she responds with emotional support and care when they need, and she guided my older child as she navigates the complex social dynamics of elementary school. She is currently training to earn her Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. This means she is up to date on the latest research on child development, which you can see in her expert care. In addition she is completely dependable, punctual, and communicative with parents. The kids are always excited to see her. As my 9-year-old says, “You couldn’t ask for a better babysitter.”
