Meet Kate
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have been babysitting children ranging from infancy to young teens for the last 8-10 years. I am available whenever you need me! I recently earned a degree in psychology from Lynchburg College, focusing on developmental psychology and child development. I am great with single children or multiples and have hundreds of fun and safe activities your children will love. I understand the trust required to leave your child with a stranger, and it is my duty to make you feel as comfortable and safe as humanly possible. I have extensive knowledge about brain development, critical milestones, and care about your child's growth and development. I want to be more than a babysitter. I hope to help your child develop new skills and traits that will aide him or her throughout their lives.
