About Me -Commitment: 1 year: available for overnight newborn care (previously worked 9pm-6am), date nights, weekends (day and night), holiday/birthday parties, and travel/ family holidays -15 years of experience: overnight newborn care, date night, house sitting, child care/tutoring and holiday/birthday parties with 10+ children -Cared for children as young as 3weeks old to teenager ( as many as 4 children) -Currently I work for a wonderful family on the Upper West Side who has 2 girls (11 and 10), after school from 3pm-7 p.m. (M-F): Sometimes I do not work on Fridays. -I am applying to nursing school this Fall for an expected start date of Fall 2016 -People often ask me "Why do you like to babysit?": The answer is very simple. I enjoy babysitting and it's fun. I made a career move from business to nursing so naturally I enjoy all aspects of caring for others. I have Read more been really lucky to have worked for so many families who have been very good to me throughout the past 15+years. Plus it's an honest way to pay and save for nursing school. It is important to me that I am a good fit for the family. When I'm babysitting I want the parents to trust me and feel comfortable leaving their kids with me while we play. Babysitting should be fun!

Kate came just once (we are moving), but she was great! She is very friendly and proved extremely capable with my son and my niece, both just 12 months old. She did an excellent job caring for the two babies for several hours and was also very responsive with emails and telephone messages. Thanks Kate!

My standards are extremely high, and I believe Kate is an excellent babysitter. She has been working for us for almost a year. I have known her to be very prompt, professional, enthusiastic and caring with my toddler boys (2yrs & 16 months.) She is very capable at handling multiple tasks, meal preparation, educational and age-appropriate pretend play. Kate has been very communicative via phone & email. She even comes through on last minute appts. A joy to work with! Thanks Kate :)

Kate actually never even made it through the door of my house. She was supposed to be here at 10 and come 10:30 i gave her a call and she said she was almost there. I asked her why she was so late and she said she sent me an email..which i never got. Then she told me she was late because of traffic. After further discussion she told me she left her house 20 minutes late. She never called me and i feel this person is highly irresponsible and would never call her again
