Hello! My name is Kate. I am an experienced and enthusiastic babysitter, nanny, and pet sitter. I started off being paid to watch my 8 younger cousins (I am the eldest) at the age of 11 and from there I developed a love of childcare. Since then, I have held two long term nanny positions, volunteered at numerous children's programs, day camps and I have worked in two preschools. I have taken childhood education and certification classes. I think of the children and families I babysit for as family. I am creative and enjoy sharing my artistic passions with children. I am not one of those teenagers who will just sit on their phone.

Katherine was fantastic! We were a bit nervous getting a new sitter online for the first time but she showed up early, was very attentive when we texted and very good experience with children, including infants. Would highly recommend!

Hi, I usually don't give a bad review..I had a really bad experience with Katherine..She stood me up without giving a prior notice..I was in Newport for just a weekend and I needed a babysitter to take care of my boys and after confirming that she would be available that evening she turned off her phone 1 hour before she was supposed to come and she never showed up..I wish she at least had the courtsey to give me a heads up so that I could make alternate arrangements.. Very unprofessional behavior
