About Katherine
Experience: 10 yrs
I would love to be your babysitter! I graduated from Trinity College in 2016. After graduation, I was awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant to go to Argentina where I taught students that wanted to become English teachers. I recently started graduate school for a dual-degree MBA and MPP at Brandeis, and I'm looking for part-time work during my studies. I have over eight years of experience working with kids. I'm nurturing, organized, and adaptable. Most importantly, I love to have fun and be silly! I worked at an after school program for kids aged 5-12 all throughout high school, and I've been babysitting for families around Newton, MA (where I'm from) since I was 13. I love to do fun activities with kids, and in the past, I've done a lot of arts and crafts projects, taken kids to the park, played sports, etc. I also have my own transportation and a clean driving record.

Katherine was our family babysitter for years, and we loved having her around! When she started babysitting, my daughters were 18 months and 3 years old and Katherine was only 12. She was so calm and competent with them, even at such a young age. She managed any situations that came up (such as a tantruming toddler) with such ease, that I knew she was a keeper. She continued to babysit for us through her middle and high school years and even some when she started college. She always brought craft projects for the kids and the kids had a great time. Katherine is a great babysitter, a responsible person, and a kind soul. Any family who had her as a babysitter would be lucky!
