Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Alexandria, VA: Katie W.

"Katie is a regular babysitter who watches our two kids and dog on the date / event nights. She has watched our younger daughter grow from a 4 month old infant to now talking toddler. Through the entire time, she’s been an incredible, patient and reliable sitter who our girls love very much. She manages to do activities and engage them while also finding extra time to care for our dog. She’s always punctual and gives me some peace of mind when we’re out that the kids are in good hands."

"Katie has worked as a babysitter for us for about 2 years. We have a now 2 year old and a 4 year old. Our youngest was 5 months old when she started. We were so grateful that she was able to help us when another sitter called out last minute. She gets good reviews from our 4 year old, who is generally tough to please. She brought her own arts and crafts for the kids to play with. She kept me updated while we were out, and sent photos of the kids. She is very hard working, enthusiastic, personable, and reliable. She genuinely enjoys working with kids. I highly recommend Katie! Your kids will be in good hands with her."

"Katie was a great steady calm presence while caring for our daughter. Highly recommend!"

"Katie has been a wonderful, trustworthy sitter for our daughter ever since she was two and now with our baby son as well. She has good instincts with kids, manages and redirects well when fussy, plays at an age appropriate level, is a great communicator, and is just warm and wonderful with our kids. My daughter loves whenever she gets to see Katie and feels so ease with her, whereas she typically has a hard time leaving us when with other sitters and at daycare. She would be a great fit for any family looking for care!"

"Katie started sitting for us when our son was around 9 months old. She made us feel so comfortable as new parents. She’s great with him, genuinely loves to spend time with him, and he loves to play with her too. She still sits for us and our son is now almost 2.5 years old."

"Katie has been babysitting our daughter for 5 years at this point. She is great; through every stage, she has been patient and engaging with our daughter. She brings things to do, and also is flexible depending on what our daughter feels like on each day. They always have fun, but Katie also makes sure to keep our daughter in check (and also keeps on top of the house, which we haven't even asked her to do). Our daughter is always excited to know Katie is coming over, and we are always confident in leaving for our outing. We feel so lucky that Katie has continued with us, and she is great."

"Katie has been our nanny for our now two year old daughter since she was about 8 months. She has been wonderful for our family, is very reliable and creative and responsible. She has so many craft ideas, takes our daughter to the park and library and organizes play dates. We will be moving for my husband’s job, but have been so thankful for all Katie has done."

"Katie was the first babysitter we left our baby with and has always been our first choice! We sometimes joke that she knows more about taking care of our toddler than we do, and you'd be hard pressed to find someone more qualified. Maybe even more importantly though, she really truly loves caring for babies, toddlers, and children. My now two year old loves when Katie comes. She goes above and beyond with fun and developmentally helpful activities and ideas. She communicates clearly and helpfully. We feel genuinely lucky to have found her."

"I cannot recommend Katie highly enough! She did an exceptional job caring for my children, including one with severe allergies, which she handled with utmost diligence and care. Not only did she ensure their safety, but she also went above and beyond by bringing arts and crafts activities, sparking their creativity and keeping them engaged. Her proactive and attentive approach truly made a difference, and I am grateful for her outstanding service."

"Katie has been our family’s favorite go-to babysitter for many circumstances. She’s patient and wonderful with babies, fun and playful caretaker for older kids and kind even to our pets. We trust her decision making and when she’s at our house, we have a sense of relief that our kids are in good hands."

"Katie is reliable, prompt, a great communicator, very personable and my little one lights up when she sees Katie! Would highly recommend"

"Katie has been a date night babysitter for us for 2 years. Our daughter gets excited when Katie is coming to babysit, as Katie does a great job leading craft activities and playing with our child. She is incredibly reliable, helpful, and a good communicator. I definitely recommend her to new families."
