About Katherine
Experience: 7 yrs
Edit: 1) Moved to Rittenhouse area! Contact me for planning ahead. 2) Eager to streamline your New Year's Eve planning. Hi! I'm an enthusiastic and responsible sitter who keeps kids happy and active when needed, then skillfully winds them down for bed and naps. I'm a PhD student at Villanova University and the oldest of 8: skilled at caring for children at all ages and stages. At bedtime and nap time, I create a soothing environment through lullabies and bedtime stories. I'm happy to help with homework, too, and I have a lot of tutoring experience. At present I am only accepting as-needed sitting requests other than steady tutoring, since I'm prioritizing my academic work. References available upon request.

Reviewed on 8/24/2017
Katherine has watched our three-year-old son on a half dozen occasions. She has a real gift for relating to children. She is calm, patient, cheerful, and very thoughtful about how she put both parent and child at ease. She is full of ideas for imaginative play. She is also safety-conscious and reliable. My son absolutely adored her and still asks for her, even though we moved away from the area four months ago. I felt very confident she was a good choice for our family.
