Hi I'm Kathryn! I have my BS in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania and an MPH from George Washington University. I work full time but am open to work as a date night babysitter! I am certified in Basic Life Support CPR by the AHA as well as basic first aid by the Blue Cross and have nursing experience including pediatric and neonatal care. I have also worked as a full time nanny for two children ages 2 and 5 for one year and worked as a part time nanny for an infant starting when she was 8 months old. I speak Spanish and have three additional years of childcare experience as a part time babysitter. I am dependable, responsible, and able to manage schedules efficiently and effectively. I am comfortable with light housework (laundry, meal prep, light cleaning). I am fully vaccinated, have a car, and am a Read more non-smoker. Babysitting has always been one of my favorite jobs! I am fun-loving and engaged, and happy to meet any child where they are at. I hope to hear from you if you're looking to add a babysitter to your date-night roster!

Kathryn was absolutely wonderful! She babysat my one year old son for us and was magnificent. She immediately interacted with him and started to play with him at this level. She put us as ease and was prompt and very professional. I could not recommend her enough!
