Hi! I am Kate, I enjoy dancing, photography, music, and being with friends and family. I started babysitting when I was 12 years old and have continued thought the last almost 30 years! I am returning to Urbansitter after taking a few years off after having my own children. I am looking to work nights, weekends, travel, and overnight jobs. When I lived in Chicago from 2009 to 2022, I was a High School teacher until 2010 and then was a career nanny for various families until having my own child in 2019. I worked with many parents including Doctors, Professors, NFL players, and many other high profile parents. The children I nannied for ranged from 7 weeks old to 12 years old in addition to babysitting for over 100 kids throughout the years! Since I am a Stay At Home Mom, I am looking to start babysitting on nights, weekends, for travel, and overnights. I have been a travel nanny for a few families and really enjoy helping while on adventures. I also am very comfortable with newborn care and overnights and am working towards getting my newborn care specialist training.

After that, I've been providing private care giving for 10+ years.
