Hi, Some housekeeping first:) At this time I am only interviewing with families who have definite dates for childcare needs that match my availability.  If you have dates that I'm available for, I will gladly meet and interview with your family.  I understand that many people want occasional "on call" sitters (which is great & exactly what I do) but please contact me when you know you will need a sitter.  I have a very flexible schedule and will make time to meet you and your family before the needed date/time.  I've found this is an easier approach for as it saves time for everyone!  Thanks in advance! So about me... Currently I work for the Federal Bar Association (a normal M-F 9-5 work week, (there's some flexibility to this), but I love children and always looking for ways to spend time with them.  I'm generally very available on weeknights and weekends and have Read more a flexible schedule.  I can do almost anything given enough advance notice.   My childcare experience has a lot of variation and range.  At 25, I am the oldest of three girls with the youngest being 12.  From 13, I grew up as her babysitter.  Through high school and college, I volunteered at My House in Atlanta, GA (my hometown).  My House is a foster home for babies from premature to 4 years (http://www.myhouseweb.org).  I volunteered extensively and spent a summer working there.  I learned to care for children at a variety of levels (from 2 lbs to 20 lbs) and with a variety of health problems.  In addition to these two major aspects of my life, I was a babysitter for many many neighborhood families throughout high school, and a nanny during college.  I am still very close with the families that I nannied for, and one of the little girls (well almost 15 now) still visits me.  I live in Arlington, VA near Ballston and I drive a relatively new Honda Accord…this is to say that I am reliable and would have no problems getting to your house. I have many references that would be happy to speak with you.  Please let me know if you have any questions.   Best, Kate PS My Cousin also lives with me and is great with children.  You can see her profile at AMFernandezPujals.  Generally if I'm not available, she is!

Kate did an outstanding job taking care of our 10-month old daughter, and we will definitely contact her again when we need a sitter. Kate came to our home to meet our daughter a couple of days before she sat with her, and we were very impressed with Kate's ability to entertain our baby and keep her occupied and happy. Kate is a class act and is excellent with children. We highly recommend her!
