My name is Kate. I am 23 years old and I am originally from Ukraine. Three years ago I got my degree in teaching and decided to try myself as an Au-Pair. It was a terrific experience. I was working for a wonderful family with three kids( 2-year-old boy and 4 and 6-year-old girls). I have lived with them for one year and we still keep it touch. I love these kids as they are mine. :) As for my personality, I am very easy-going, hard-working, responsible, en. and I sincerely love children. I know a lot of places in DC to take a child to so he/she can have tons of fun, explore and learn something new. I honestly do not understand those who spend most of the time texting, surfing Internet or watching TV when baby-sitting. Kids are the most amazing thing in the world and as for me I easily interact with any child and sometimes even become a child myself. :) What's more, I am a healthy eater and I always make sure kids I am taking care of eat healthy as well. I love sports: biking, hiking, running, yoga, I don't smoke and I love pets. I know Russian, Ukrainian and French. I don't mind doing any other type of work while baby-sitting(cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, folding clothes etc). To sum up, I really enjoy taking care of children and if you like what you do you are always at your best.
