About Catherine

Experience: 13 yrs

I am a professional educator offering childcare in the home for families who value consistency and a calm environment. I step in and create order without taking over. Children know what to expect and the day moves in a steady way. I am often brought in when families want someone they can trust without constant direction. I do not need to be managed. Once I am there, things are handled. My background in special education allows me to support different personalities, learning styles, and behaviors. With younger children, I focus on connection and play. With older children, I support routines, independence, and follow-through. I am attentive to food allergies and take safety seriously. My faith guides how I treat people, with patience and respect.

Miss Cathy was AMAZING! We were visiting SW Florida for the week and still had to “work from home” so she spent the days with our 1.5 year old son. He loved her, she kept him very busy with activities like playing outside, painting, bubbles, and other educational games. Catherine was very professional and we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our son.
