Katherine’s Bio
Hi my name is Katherine Baker, age 30, and I have 10 years experience working with children (ages from new born to teenagers) as well as disabled adults. My passion for helping those in need is just as strong as it was 10 years ago, when I first pursued my love for children.
I enjoy aiding children in reaching growth and developmental milestones in their lives. To see the excitement a child has when he/she has accomplished something--whether it is a game, homework, or learning to read--it brings joy to my heart, knowing I was a part of the becoming of a wonderful child.
Some activities that I enjoy with children include: playing games and sports of all kinds, going to playgrounds, swimming and reading.
I would be more than happy to assist your family with the necessary help needed with your children. I have 6 years experience with children that have special needs. At your convenience, please call or email me so that we can further discuss our possibilities.
Thank you!!

Reviews
Not only did she rise to the challenge of watching a toddler with autism ( and it was their first meeting ) but she also took on his sweet little brother who is only 10 months younger. We kept great communication throughout the night and she never seemed annoyed though we continued every 5 minutes to berate her with "How are they doing?" texts. She answered promptly! Our kids are also cloth diapered and though she hadn't done it before, she took to it quickly and followed our instructions to a tee. Neither kid ended up with a single red mark on their extremely sensitive tushies. We picked them up and they were already dressed and ready to go. My son with autism is notorious for scaring off babysitters as he can be very temperamental and difficult though also sweet. She didnt flinch or waver.
I highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the very soon!
I hired her for an evening and she showed up on time but after I returned home, she told me her boyfriend had been waiting for her outside the entire 4 hours I was gone. She made no mention of him before I left and said she didn't use the internet or watch TV the entire time. Makes me wonder how long the boyfriend was in my house.
