About Katherine

Experience: 10 yrs

I feel that I would be a great choice for your family. I'm a pet lover, and used to being around dogs and cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and other animals. I used to raise small rodents for sale, and I have kept reptiles, amphibians, insects, and fish, as well. I'm an avid non-smoker, science-music-arts person, and very energetic! I'm small (130 pounds), short (5'3") and very physically flexible, as well as having a helpful personality. I enjoy easy hikes, bike-riding, roller-skating, flying kites, dancing, and folk music, as well as photography, street fairs, and projects. I have years of experience as an elementary school teacher and I am willing to share those abilities with your child. I assume that they have events such as sports, lessons, or other commitments for which they need transportation and supervision. My driving record is exemplary! My English language skills are excellent, and I possess other great qualities, such as intelligence, logic and critical thinking skills, as well as a B.A. in cognitive and biological psychology with a minor in biology. My GPA usually hovers around 3.8-4.0. As I'm changing careers from education to medical administration, a flexible schedule would be perfect for me! I would greatly appreciate the chance to talk with you about your needs and concerns!

Katherine is excellent. A skilled educator and VERY reliable, very dedicated Jill-of-all-trades. She has worked with our family for 3+ years in a variety of capacities - primarily tutor and housekeeper - and we have come to depend on her enormously. She is educated, punctual, communicative (not too much; not too little) and extremely professional. We come home, everything's done, and we didn't have to think about any of it. Kids homework, house cleaned, dog walked, errands run, or whatever.
