Hi, my name is Courtney and I’ve always had an affinity for caring for children and creating organized, calm spaces.

Kathelin 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Kat, and I’m excited to connect with you. I bring over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through middle school, with a strong background in early childhood education and the arts. I’ve worked as an assistant teacher in an infant classroom, a toddler teacher, and later a Pre-K teacher at a performing arts preschool, where I also taught Spanish and drama electives. I’m bilingual in Spanish and hold a degree in Theatre Arts, which I love incorporating into creative, playful learning experiences with children. Beyond early childhood, I’ve worked as a one-to-one paraprofessional at Dover-Sherborn Public Schools and as a Surround Care Paraprofessional for K2 with Boston Public Schools. Most recently, I was a dance teacher for grades K0–1st. I’m currently shifting my focus toward infant care and supporting new mothers, and I’m in the process of becoming a certified Postpartum Doula, though I still enjoy working with children of all ages! I’m an energetic, crafty, and nature-loving caregiver who believes strongly in learning through play. I love engaging kids in activities like arts and crafts, dancing, outdoor play, and neighborhood exploring. I also offer homework help, and I’m First Aid/CPR certified. I’m available for part-time work, infant care, and the occasional date night. Bonus: I’m a big fan of dogs and am happy to help out if you have a furry family member. I look forward to learning more about your family!

“Kathelin is a reliable and responsible babysitter. She has good experience with kids, keeps them safe and on schedule, and handles everything in a calm, professional way. She shows up on time, communicates well, and I always feel comfortable leaving my kids in her care. I would definitely recommend her”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
