My name is Kathy and I am a compassionate and caring babysitter. I have over 45 years of qualified experience caring for children from infancy to adolescence, which includes the care for my own three children (who are now adults) and my two grandchildren. I have a professional background as a Home Health Aide, which allowed me the experience of caring for individuals of all ages with various needs. This work included various tasks, from simple companionship and light duty housework, to cooking meals with specific dietary standards, grooming maintenance, and at-home assistance with medical issues. I am also current on certifications in First Aid and CPR by the American Red Cross, so rest assured that your child or children will be safe in my care. I also have a background as a professional chef and caterer, so preparing healthy and delicious meals for your child will not be a Read more problem. I consider myself a very creative person, and I am able to prepare several creative and educational activities for your child or children to enjoy. Some of the past activities have included: hands-on cooking, crafting, creative story-time, music and dance, beauty shop and dress up, mock camping, and various others. In addition to creative activities, I am also available to help your child or children with their homework, as well as help with daily grooming (bathing, dressing, teeth brushing, and diaper changing) as the need arises. I am also available for transportation, but you will need to provide your own car seat/booster seat/stroller if required. Thank you for your interest in my profile, I look forward to speaking with you!
