About Catherine

Experience: 10 yrs

With over 10 years of professional childcare experience, I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and I am confident in my ability to handle any situation - whether caring for one child or managing a bustling household of eight. My background includes 2 years as a Household Manager and 7 years as Program Director for a therapeutic camp supporting teenagers with video game addiction. As a long-time Santa Barbara resident, I'm well-connected within the community and knowledgeable about the area's best activities for kids, thoughtfully tailored to their developmental stages. In addition to childcare, I offer support with light housework, meal prep, cooking, organizing, coordinating, and household staff management. My goal is to bring both professionalism and warmth to every family I work with. Let me know how I can support your family!

Cate worked with us before her world travel and has been working with us since her return to the U.S. She is able to effectively manage our large family, ranging from toddler to teen, and goes above and beyond what we ask of her. She takes initiative, has sound judgment, and follows detailed instructions to a tee. Cate actively engages our children in all kinds of adventures: baking, outdoor exploring, cooking, reading, music, drawing, writing, playdough creations, and more! She is also a ready mentor for our older children, imparting wisdom and perspective that stems from a perceptive young woman who has seen the world first hand. As parents, Cate is an engaging peer with whom we have forged a strong friendship, and who has invested in our family as a nurturing partner. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lifelong connection with someone who cares deeply, even if her time of service is short term.
