Hello! My name is Kate Walford and I am an experienced babysitter and nanny. I have worked with children of all ages from two weeks to adolescence. I love kids of all ages and personalities, and I especially enjoy working with infants and toddlers, getting to know them as they grow and develop. I am currently working during the day and available for weekend or date night sitting. I am looking for a family or families who would like regular care for their children so that I can build a fun, caring relationship with them. I am CPR (Infant included) certified. I am comfortable doing light cooking and cleaning as well as caring for all types of pets - a cat and dog lover! I look forward to speaking to you and learning more about your family's needs!
