My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months.

I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities.

I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!

Hi there! I am currently a working professional in the DMV area, but grew up in DFW. I have a degree in international business, and have worked with people from all backgrounds. I would babysit occasionally in high school and college over the years in between and after classes, but am hoping to connect with families when they are in need of someone to help out! I also love to cook and read, so if you are looking for someone to help out with dinners or reading to kids, please reach out! Thanks!
