Hello! My name is Katie, I love being a sitter for children & animal children. I work full time for a community college, so my availability is mostly nights and weekends. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old. The child I was recently sitting for moved, so I'm looking for new families now. I worked as a day camp counselor and taught various park district classes like sports, art, cooking, etc. I love playing outside, going to the park, doing crafts, coloring etc. I’m not the sit on the couch kind of babysitter, unless movie time is needed.

I found Katie through a local sitter site when looking for weekend care for my then one year old son after a prior sitter didn’t work out. I interviewed several candidates looking for someone special, as my little guy has a ton of energy and personality. Katie was the perfect fit for my son, and was great at being communicative throughout the day by sending photos and little updates and needed literally zero oversight. She planned activities and outings and made sure he had lots of fun. You can tell how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with little ones. If I hadn’t relocated she’d absolutely still be my first choice!
