I have worked with children for over 10 years. I started babysitting at the age of 14. I have long term experience babysitting for 2 boys ages 2 and 4 for 2 over years. I also babysat a 6-year-old girl for over a year. I also have over 3 years of daycare experience working with children 3 months to 12 years old. Over the past 2 years I have been babysitting part time for a 10-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy. My responsibilities included driving them to after school activies, helping with homework, and having fun! I am confident working with children of any age level. I have also received my bachelor's degree majoring in nutrition. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in dietetics. I am looking for a good family with some flexibility.

Katie was great with our boys. She was punctual and professional. She was our first sitter outside of family, and we had every confidence in her abilities. In a way, I don't want to recommend her just so we can keep her to ourselves!
