Katharine G.
My name is Katharine! I’m a 28-year-old American content writer and communications lead with 5 years of experience in babysitting, child care, and pet care. I recently completed a master's degree at SOAS and am looking to support myself while I complete my PhD applications. In addition, I work part-time as a content writer for a remote company and recently edited my first children’s book :). Growing up in the suburbs in the US, there was a constant need for babysitters, which allowed me to learn how to care for the younger members of my community. When I’m not writing, I enjoy practicing yoga, visiting exhibitions, doing pottery, and browsing bookstores. I am very organized and responsible, but believe that children should also have fun and play. I connect well with kids because I still have a young spirit, but with years of experience, I know when and how to establish necessary boundaries. I hope to hear from you soon!
I was a nanny for three summers in high school, caring for two primary school-age children during the week full-time. I also babysat regularly for families in the neighborhood. While on exchange in Paris, I worked as a nanny for two children ages 2 and 5. I did the after-school routine and babysat on weekends. In Beirut, I worked for Jaleesa, babysitting for one year. Jaleesa is a highly competitive agency that thoroughly vets their babysitters and provides top-quality care.
