Kate’s Bio
I take care of elderly people like they were my own grandparents. I know elders gets abused and ignored by other caregivers because to them it's only a job to take care of them. I prepared healthy meals base on what their needs are. I don't usually cook frozen goods i think they deserve more than that. I take them to church on Sundays. I usually take them out to parks or even just on the porch because fresh air is so much better. I clean disinfect handles, bathroom, pens, remotes etc etc on a daily basis. I talk to them and eat with them so that they don't feel lonely. I treat them like family.

Kate has been our nanny for 2.5 years now and we will miss her dearly. She has become a part of our family and my kids love her. The only reason why she is leaving us is because she was married last year and is now starting her own family. We since have moved out of Chicago and it has become more difficult for her to commute back and forth, especially now that she is expecting. However, she has otherwise been very reliable, dependable, smart and hard working. Not only did she raise my daughter from infancy but she also dealt with managing my autistic son's behaviors, therapy and after school activities. We now also have a 6 month old and she too has been raising him, taking him to his doctor check ups (she actually does this for all of the kids) and makes sure that they are hitting all their miles stones. Kate keeps me in the know about everything, even researching online. My husband and I both run a very demanding business and so we are away from our kids all week. But Kate has surpassed all of my expectations, she truly loves the kids and cares for them as if they were her own. She knows how to handle everything from newborn care to cooking crock pot wonders! There isn't enough I could say about her and how much of an important role she has played in managing our home and family. We love you Kate! Good Luck in your future! <3
