Hello! My name is Katie and I have joined Care in search of the occasional date night family. I already have a full time summer nanny position, but am willing to babysit for a family or two when they need a night out. I have a wide range of experience in babysitting and nannying in the last 15 years. When I was much younger, I started out babysitting for my little sisters (twins) and my mom's friend's twins who were a boy & girl. As I got older, I became a Nanny through "College Nannies and Tutors." My first family had a 2-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. We would play all sorts of "house" like games, puzzles, arts & crafts, etc. I also cooked dinner for them and put the youngest down to bed before the parents got home from work. Even after moving away for college, I'd do date nights when I came home and after I graduated over the next 7 years! After I graduated college, I became a teacher. I started teaching Pre-K at a Early Childhood Center. Then I decided that I wanted to be in the public schools. After a year of substitute teaching, I got a summer job Nannying for a family with a 2-year-old boy and 6-year-old boy. They were wonderful and we got along great. They love animals as much as I do! We frequently had animal themes for arts & crafts, games, snack time, field trips, etc. I also helped the oldest with his reading and math everyday over the summer. During the following school year, as a substitute teacher, I also became an "on-call" nanny and would work a couple times a week babysitting for families who needed someone. The family I babysat the most for on date nights had a 3-year-old boy and 5-year-old boy. We had a strong bond and always had fun. Then the next summer I was with the same family as the summer before. Most of my experience is in the age range of 2-10 years old. These are the ages I prefer. However, as a substitute teacher, I have experience working with older children as well.

Katie was our sitter of choice from 2013 to 2015. She cared for our children regularly from the time that they were two and four through to ages four and six. From the first day that she met our two boys, they loved her and looked forward to her visits. Katie always created a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our children, often surprising us with activities and projects that went well above our expectations. Most importantly, Katie brought joy, fun, and a lot of love to the time she spent with our little men. We couldn't have asked for more from her, and our entire family misses her dearly.
