Katie $18 per hour for 1 child

I'm Katie, a recent college graduate (Macalester College) with a BA in Creative Writing and Classical Mediterranean history. For the past eight summers, I have worked at Go Girls summer camp in Oakland, California, as an assistant drama teacher, helping kids to express themselves and learn life skills through the creation of their own play. As such, I've learned a lot about how to teach kindness, resolve disagreements, and bring out creativity. Being a camp counselor for a wide range of ages (5-11) has also helped me develop a good amount of patience and multitasking skills that translate well to babysitting siblings. I enjoy working with elementary-school-aged kids, but I also have experience with younger kids, two and above, including overnight work. I'm good with animals, having two cats and a dog at home, and I'm open to doing household tasks like laundry, dishes, light cleaning, etc. I also have a car and a clean driving record. First-time sits have a five-dollar discount on my hourly rate. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

"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)."
