Hi, I’m interested in helping you out with occasional babysitting, pet sitting, and running errands. I make an effort to be interactive with children; reading, playing board games, building legos, puzzles, playing dress-up, baking, spending time outside, playing the piano, singing, etc. I have worked with children in a school setting as an aide and I love working on homework. I try to make it fun! I love dogs and have enjoyed raising a few of my own. I have also raised a few of my own kids. I have experience with babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, 5 year olds through teenage-years. I enjoy spending time with seniors and keeping them engaged or tending to their needs. I’m comfortable driving if you need your people or pet transported. I am a college educated native English speaker, I am also fluent in Ukrainian. I have studied Spanish and French in high school and French in college. I am looking forward to meeting new families in 2025! I know that it was vital for me to find reliable babysitters, and pet sitters when I needed them in my life. I want to take this opportunity to give back now.

Hello! My name is Katie, and I’ve been a professional caregiver since 2016. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to 13 years old, and I truly love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment.

I take pride in creating an environment—whether for children, pets, or older adults—where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I truly enjoy helping others and would be thrilled to bring that care and energy to your family.
