Katherine W.

Katherine has been a wonderful sitter for my one and four year old boys. My oldest is always asking when she is coming over to play. She brings toys for them to play with and always arrives with a smile on her face. She is incredibly dependable. We will miss her when we move!

Katherine cared for our 1 year old son and 3 year old daughter four days a week this past summer. We live in Boston, otherwise I would never let her go. We absolutely love her. My husband and I call her Marry Poppins. Katherine is amazing. I have never had a babysitter like her. On average she was 10 minutes early (the latest she ever was was 2 minutes early!). She came with her own case of arts and crafts to do with our daughter everyday and would often show up with some new fun thing like giant bubbles or a kite to fly. She was great at managing two kids. She was fun and silly and playful while maintaining authority at all times. She handled our 3 year old daughter's limit testing behavior beautifully, worked with her on potty training and earned her love and respect. With the baby she was always talking to him, telling him the words for things, playing with and reading to him. She was so affectionate with the kids, always hugging them and telling them she loved them. She followed a routine, made healthy meals, bathed and even sang to them at nap time. Katherine was also really careful with the kids. I completely trusted her with them. She watched them like a hawk and was also really diligent about stuff like sunscreen and hats on sunny days. I never had to ask her to do something twice, she always remembered. At the end of the day she would fill me in on everything from what they ate to cute things they said or did. Katherine never sat around. If both kids were napping at the end of her day with us, rather than leaving a little early she would find laundry to fold, clean the kitchen, organize kitchen drawers, you name it. She has amazing work ethic and really takes pride in doing the best job she can do. She was always saying "I'm here to work!". I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about Katherine! -Heather

Katherine has been a wonderful sitter for our family. She has watched our 16-month-old daughter for daytime appointments as well as date-nights. She is so friendly, extremely punctual, and wonderful with kids. Our daughter was always so excited when Katherine would arrive to babysit and hardly even noticed when I left because they were already having fun playing together. We've had to move away from the area unfortunately, and have missed Katherine already!
