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 watched my 20 month old a few times and has been absolutely wonderful. My daughter is somewhat shy and took to Kate immediately. She was communicative, engaging, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Kate’s services!
