Background: I’ve been babysitting since I was young with my little cousins. I started paid babysitting when I was in high school and continued because children has always been my passion. have cared for children from newborns to young children. I was a camp counselor for my church's VBS for 3 summers. I have been a paid nanny for 4 years. I fed, changed diapers, and attended to the infant's and toddlers needs. I also engaged babies in play and learning activities while monitoring their progress and watching for any signs of development issues.
I believe that each child is unique and that connecting with each child is important in their development as human beings. I believe that children learn through play. I provide opportunities for children to explore, discover, create, and imagine.
On her own, she’s cared for children as young as: 2 weeks old
Future plans: I plan to finish my B.A. in architecture and get my master’s degree in interior architecture.
When she’s not babysitting: I love skating and playing softball and beach volleyball.
Defining quote: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West
“She is one of the best babysitters ever; she is really invested. She loves to take them on field trips, such as going to the park, getting ice cream, and she will even go as far as taking them to Busch Gardens. She can cook, she gives them baths and she reads them bedtime stories. I still use her for date nights and vacations.”
“First of all, we have hired many nannies; out of all, Kat is extraordinary! We have become a very close family; she understood our needs and our son’s needs and went above and beyond to satisfy everyone. If you hire Kat, know that you are getting a wonderful human and an experienced nanny! We will definitely be hiring her again when she’s available and taking her with us on many family vacations! This review saddens us as we understand she has a personal life and is excelling in school, which we are rooting her on 100%, but at the same time, we want to be selfish and have her move into our spare bedroom rent-free! We love her dearly! Our paths will cross again someday, hopefully! If you get a chance to hire her, hold on to her like a precious metal! You will not regret it! ”
