A little about me: My name is Katrine, I live in Jamaica Plain and I teach part-time an After School Program in Needham, MA. I will be available to babysit in the afternoons this summer from June 21st-Sept 1st. Ideally, I am looking to work recurring weekly afternoon shifts with a family to take the place of my job at my after school program for the summer. I am also available for professional organizing and, of course, babysitting on the weekends. I have experience nannying for many different families over the years. Currently I nanny 3 mornings a week for a family with 4 small boys, ages 5, 4, 2 and 10 months. I've been with this family for over a year, and I love them very much!! I am First Aid and HeartSaver CPR certified, including infant and child CPR. I have over 15 years experience caring for children Read more of all ages. When I babysit, I like to arrive with a special tote bag full of art supplies and books that I bring from home. Sometimes, I'll plan ahead and bring a special surprise art project. I like to keep the kids busy, taking them outside whenever possible during the day (rain or shine), and I do my best to stay present and engaged with them at all times (not on my phone). We stay safe, get plenty of exercise, play lots of games and have fun! I also make sure they're fed, bathed and get to sleep on time. In addition to nannying and babysitting, have several years experience serving as a household manager for busy Moms. This includes light cleaning, cooking, laundry, groceries, errands, and household tasks such as organizing toys and books, organizing bedrooms and closets, etc. I work freelance as a professional organizer, and if desired I can use these skills to help busy families manage their home, reducing stress and helping to make room for quality time. My availability this summer (starting June 21st) is as follows: Tuesdays: 8am-6pm M,W,Th, Fri: 1pm- 6pm Available most weekends If you're interested in learning more or have any questions, please do not hesitate to write. I look forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Katrine
