About Katharine
Experience: 1 yr
COVID-19 vaccinated
I'd describe myself as hardworking, playful, and earnest. I have a PhD in biology, and work full-time as a research scientist at Stanford. I am a parent, and I have loved watching my daughter grow and learn. Every age is wonderful in its own way. I think there's something incredible about watching a child learn a new skill, and realize their own abilities. I also just love getting down on the floor, meeting them where they are, and playing within their own world. I have felt very comfortable around children for a very long time and have babysat for friends and family for a few decades. In my spare time, I love to read! I also love spending time in nature, hiking and camping, swimming, making music, writing, and dancing..

Katharine is an incredibly kind and trustworthy person. I’ve seen her around my twins, and she has such a warm and caring nature. She is gentle, responsible, and always attentive, making me feel completely at ease. As a loving mother herself, she truly understands children and connects with them effortlessly. I would never hesitate to leave my kids in her care, knowing they would be safe and well looked after. Highly recommend her!
