Welcome to my profile! My name is Kathleen. I am originally from Chicago but moved out to Austin to escape the cold. I am looking for a nanny job but am also interested in occasional babysitting gigs. Why am I here? I love kids! I started off at 10 years old being the neighborhood babysitter for my parents friends on the weekends. As I got older I gained more experience with infants, bigger families, and kids with disabilities. I also was an overnight babysitter my senior year of high school. When nannying, I like to be very interactive with the kids. As much as we all know kids love television and their IPads, I try to keep that to a minimum and also engage in other activities like arts and crafts, playing outside, riding bikes, puzzles, board games, playing with toys, reading and other hobbies they enjoy. For the older Read more kids I am also great with homework help and studying. Thank you for reading my profile and feel free to message me with any questions
