Hi there! I have nearly 20 years experience as a babysitter for kids of all ages, including newborns, and I really enjoy working with kids as much as possible! I am 29 years old with a college degree. I work in corporate communications by day and one of my passions is teaching and playing with kids. I am very patient and responsible but I love to be goofy and have fun. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and I've even held a full-time, live-in nanny position for a year. I have experience in sitting for children with Down Syndrome, OCD, asthma and autism. I am happy to help around the house with cleaning, cooking etc. as well. I grew up with pets (mostly dogs) so those are more than welcome. I have plenty of references upon request. I can be flexible with my schedule and the more notice Read more you can provide, the more available I will be. Overnights are also fine with me. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Katie has been an awesome pet sitter over the past several months. Our pups, Sadie and Geneva, really love her and we return to happy wagging tails and an orderly home every time! Katie is also good about communicating and responding in a timely manner. And, when she wasn't available during a particular date, she even recommended a great replacement sitter! We wholeheartedly recommend Katie as a friendly, responsible sitter for your four legged family members.
