Hi! My name is Caitlin and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master's degree from Columbia University. I currently work at a nonprofit agency providing therapy to children and adolescents. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility on nights and weekends, which allows me to babysit for occasional date nights, etc. I have many years of experience as a nanny and babysitter from infants (6 months as a full time nanny for 3-month-old) through middle school age children. I worked as a teaching assistant for two years in a preschool and also have years of experience working with children with special needs. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages in a professional capacity, providing appropriate therapy to children, as well as parents and families. I assist with housekeeping tasks such as cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and errands. I'm reliable, flexible, and responsible and have a very hands-on approach in engaging with the children I babysit for
She watched our 4 and 7 year old daughters and they absolutely loved her! My girls are very energetic, but she kept up with them so easily and still managed to keep things under control. She played with them, kept them busy with fun activities, and everything was tidy when we got home, which we really appreciated. She’s super warm, reliable, and clearly great with kids. Our girls keep asking when she’s coming back—we’d definitely hire her again!
