Katherine Lake Elsinore
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Katherine. I am college student and current music major! Three words I’d use to describe myself are compassionate, authentic, and creative! I am so excited to be of help to you and your family! I’ve been helping my mom care for children and babysit practically my whole life. Alongside child care, I also have lots of experience in tutoring. Tutoring is a way to help others grow in their studies and confidence. Often, all it takes is approaching from another perspective. Learning is beautiful, and everyone's brain works a little differently. With a little patience and guidance, it becomes much easier! Also, tutoring is a great way for me to exercise my own brain! I began tutoring when I was roughly 11. My mom tutored and babysat as I was growing up. For as long as I can remember, our home was a sort of mini school with phonics posters and times tables on the wall. Once I got older, I was able to help out more and more. Now, im ready to help your child flourish! I have two dogs and two cats, they are my loves! I’ve also had fish, a bird, and chickens in the past. I’d be happy to care for any critter! Reading has been one of my favorite pastimes since I was little. I love letting myself become absorbed in magical stories! I have a personal collection of books in my room consisting of novels and children’s books and autobiographies. I’d be happy to read stories to your little one! I love to cook! I am big on nutrition, since I studied biology before deciding on music. I am not afraid to cook from scratch or tweak recipes to suit specific needs! With science and flavor, I can make a meal that ticks off every box! Music has my heart! I’m a classical musician, aspiring to touch the hearts of others with my music and teach as well. My main instrument is the french horn. I’m capable of offering lessons as well, if you are in possession of a horn! I also have experience with the trumpet and alto saxophone, and I am currently learning the guitar and piano!
