About Kate
Experience: 10 yrs
I'd describe my personality as nurturing, organized, and fun. My skills include engaging in play, ensuring safety, and keeping spaces tidy. I am a lifelong learner, and I appreciate all the fascinating things children can teach me. I like working with kids because I enjoy being part of their development. I started working with kids when I was 13 years old. During college, I provided care for several families with infants and school-aged children. For a few years I was a Big Brother Big Sister mentor and enjoyed that role immensely. For two years I worked in a developmental preschool, including students with special needs. I also have experience as a live-in nanny for a family with four children. In other more recent positions, I've cared for newborns through 5-year-olds. I'm looking for a job that balances variety and routine, professionalism and fun, and flexibility and commitment. In my spare time, I like to travel, explore nature, hike, try new recipes, and read.

Kate is truly an exceptional nanny, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is kind, patient, caring, and understanding with both my kids (1 years old and 4 years old). She is able to handle taking care of one or both kids with ease, and they both absolutely adore her. She pays attention to detail in working with children and handles difficult situations very patiently and well. She thinks through her actions and decisions and does not react harshly or too quickly. She also helps with housework, laundry, dishes and tidying up around the house. She would do wonderfully in any household. She has become part of our family. I give her my highest, most sincere recommendation.
