About Katharine
Experience: 8 yrs
Having been trusted by parents since age 14, I bring a lot of experience and never take these responsibilities lightly. I have loved working with children and seeing a positive impact on their lives, just as I had many amazing babysitters impact mine. I also worked at various summer camps, both day camps and overnight, so I am happy to work with larger groups as needed. With that experience, I bring a positive, upbeat energy at all times while maintaining important boundaries and household rules. Parents appreciate my patient, creative, and friendly nature. I am happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision, and I am very comfortable being around or helping care for any pets.
Most recent review
Katharine is top notch and was our go-to caregiver when she lived in Georgia. We used her for over 5 years and was our kids absolute favorite. She not only engages with them through hide and seek, games, arts and crafts, she also prepped meals, cleaned up and helped with homework and projects. Once she was driving age, we also had her drive them to tutoring and extracurriculars. She is very attentive and we trusted her to take them to the pool and other fun activities outside of the home. She is trustworthy, reliable, mature and fun. She even took care of our fur baby, Chico, when we were gone for day trips. We love that she not only was a stellar sitter, but she was a top student at her school, an awesome member of the community working and serving in so many different areas, she was a great role model for our kids. We love Katharine and any DC family that hires her will feel the same way.
