Hello! My name is Kate Knudsen and I'm so excited about the prospect of working as a babysitter. Upon graduating from The University of Oregon (GO DUCKS!) in 2014, I promptly moved to sunny southern Cal to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. While I have enjoyed the jobs I've held within that field over the past two years, I would love a job in which I feel I'm making more of a difference. Growing up I was an avid babysitter for the families in my neighborhood as well as a camp counselor for children of all ages. These jobs, while difficult at times, came easily to me and fulfilled that instant gratification of visibly having an impact on a child’s life. In addition, I regularly volunteered at my church’s nursery where I worked with both infants and toddlers. I am a fast learner, enthusiastic, and absolutely love children. Read more I regularly look after my two nieces, age 4 and six months, and I cannot imagine a better way to spend my time. Children live their lives entirely in the moment, unfettered by worry or stress and I think it is this quality that makes them such a joy to work with. They are only concentrating on the matter at hand which makes it imperative that you do too. Playing, reading, taking walks, playing games, these are all incredibly important to the proper growth of a child and I would love to be a positive force in your child’s life.

Kate has been an amazing addition to our family! We have an 11 month old and Kate is absolutely wonderful with her. She has a great hands on approach - getting down on her level to play, going for walks and giving her more love than we ever could have asked for. The most difficult thing for me when I had to go back to work was to find someone that I could trust, Kate is that person. I don't worry for one moment when my daughter is with Kate. Our situation has changed and we don't need as much help. We will be sad to see Kate less! Our loss will be another family's gain. I highly recommend her!
