Hello! I'm Katie and I'm a 28 year old Speech Therapist. I've babysat since I was 12 throughout the suburbs and the city of Chicago and was a nanny in Lincoln Park. I have experience with infants to preteen and am comfortable sitting for up to 5 children at once. I'm also a rock climbing instructor on week nights. During the week days I'm a full time speech therapist for children ages 0-3. I also have experience babysitting and working with children who have disabilities and speech disorders. I love being active, getting the kids to play outside, playing games, helping with homework, baking, and doing arts and crafts! I currently reside in Logan Square but am familiar with driving around most of the north side of Chicago including Wicker Park, Bucktown, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Lincoln Square, and Humboldt Park.

Katie is such a great babysitter. She's responsive, reliable, easy to talk to and knows what to do without having to be told. All the little things that you hope your babysitter will do, she does. Our kids loved her and we did too!
