About me

My name is Katie and I am currently working at development company as an assistent. One year ago I came back from USA, where I worked as Au Pair for two years. I spent one year in Ohio, my host family had three kids in age 2yo - 6yo. For my second year, I moved to west coast - Portland, OR - where I took care about two kids - 8m and 5yo.
I was happy around little kids since always, I loved to take care about younger children. Later on my brother was born - he is 11 years younger and I loved taking care of him. Then it continued by babysitting my mom´s friends´ kids and "ended" with my Au Pair career. Which I enjoyed so much!
To be honest, after year in office I miss being around kids. Its just kinder, truer and more colorful world. I love to play with them - or as I say - they are usually playing with me haha. Usually you will find me on the floor, playing with Lego, cars, board games or making whatever we just made up.
Also I love to spend time outside, on the walks with the little ones - or on the playground or park with the bigger kids 😊

Katie is an exceptional caretaker. She goes beyond understanding your needs and makes sure you are always informed and posted about your pets. After a couple of times it feels like you are leaving your pets with family. She is well beloved by all of us and cannot recommend her enough for all your pet needs. 10/10.

Pet care

Katka was absolutely wonderful! Our daughter spent with her 2 days and she loved her. They even went to the zoo together and my daughter enjoyed it. Kate was able to keep her entertained, take care of her from a-z. As soon as we are in Prague we will contact her again.

Katie looked after our girls twice on our holiday to Prague. They had a wonderful time, and our 3-year-old wanted her to stay and continue to play with her after we were home. We will definitely reach back out to Katie any time we are in Prague!

What we learned when we met Kateřina
from verification interview with Hlídačky.cz

Kateřina vystudovala střední školu dopravní v Plzni a potom pracovala v administrativě. Následně odjela na dva roky do USA, kde pracovala jako au-pair.

První rok strávila v rodině, kde se starala o osmiměsíční holčičku a pětiletého chlapce, druhý rok měla na starost tři děti ve věku 2, 4 a 5 let. K dětem má blízko od mala, vždy se o ně ráda starala a hlídala je. Také má o 11 let mladšího bratra, o kterého se pravidelně starala od jeho narození.

Domluví se anglicky. Ve volném čase ráda cvičí jógu, cestuje a chodí na procházky.


How Kateřina handles everyday situations

You are about to look after 5 years old Anna from Prague. She has been going to kindergarten for a year and her mum and dad need to have a rest and go for the trip together on Saturday. You know Anna has been looked after only by her mum's sister, she would not last long for the book and enjoys any movement the most. The parents won't have any special requirements for the daily schedule leaving it completely up to you. What is your common Saturday going to look like?

V závislost na počasí, bych Aničku vzala někam mimo domov. Ať už by to byla zoologická zahrada, trampolínový park, nebo spíše nějaké dětské centrum se spoustou prolízaček, kde se Anička proběhně a vyřádí. Jelikož si myslím, že pětileté dítě není lehké zabavit jednou aktivitou na celý den, snažila bych se vymyslet aktivit více během dne, po obědě bych ji vzala třeba do parku a vymyslela s ní různé hry, jako je skákání panáka, hra na schovávanou, vymýšlení různých závodů na prolízačkách. Pokud by měla rodina zahradu, tak aktivity na zahradě, nebo i v bytě se dá vymyslet spoustu challengujících aktivit, které děti zabaví. Opět nějaká olympiáda. Nebo stavění bunkru, apod.

You are at the sandpit with Anna enjoying not only playing at climbing frames but also making sand cakes. Anna is sitting calmly trying to prepare a confectionery pleasure. She is holding a sifter in her hand "sugaring" the sand cake. Suddenly, a little girl approximately at the same age comes to her, takes the sifter and is going to play with it herself. Anna is really unhappy and looks as she is going to cry. How are you going to solve the situation?

Nejdřív bych se situaci snažila "vyřešit" poklidně s holčičkou, zkusila bych ji vysvětlit, že si Anička se sítkem hrála první a jestli by se o něj nemohly vystřídat, aby byly spokojené obě. Pokud bych viděla, že se s holčičkou nedomluvím a nebyla by poblíž jějí maminka, která by jí danou věc sama vysvětlila, snažila bych se Aničku zabavit něčím jiným, odvést její pozornost od vzniklé situace a najít jinou alternativu pro "cukrování" bábovky, něco v jějích očích "lepšího" a zajímavějšího, aby ji to nemrzelo.

You have agreed with the parents they would come back home in the evening to make their daughter fall asleep. Half an hour before they should arrive, the desperate mother is calling you she has been stuck in traffic on the highway and they will certainly not be able to arrive on time. There is going to be a serious delay and there is nobody to substitute for them. Anna is quite tired of the all-day rollicking and she is asking for her parents. How are you going to cope with the situation?

Myslím si, že v pěti letech děti již celkem chápou, zkusila bych ji vhodně a úměrně k jejímu věku celou situaci vysvětlit s tím, že bych ji připravila do postele a uložila a pečlivě ji ubezpečila, že rodiče budou zpět dříve než se zase vzbudí. Snažila bych se jí zabavit zpestřením všech večerních aktivit zábavnou formou. Nechala bych ji aby si hrála ve vaně s hračkami, to většinou zabírá, přečetla nebo vyprávěla ji pohádky, aby nemyslela na nepřítomnost rodičů a spíše to brala jako spestření jednoho dne a třeba si to i užila.
