My name is Catherine, I have 14 years of experience taking care of as many as 10 children at a time. the last 4 years, I have been taking care of children out of my home, and my husband and I now have 2 sweet kids.
I keep log of diapers, feeding, and what we worked on that day. I follow an appropriate curriculum and can include anything you'd like your child to learn. I offer ballet & gymnastics in home and have equipment. 
I've taught dance for 10 years and am currently teaching at dance with janice ".
I'm up to date on CPR/1st aid and follow safe sleep. 
I would love to set up an interview at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time
Catherine. :)

Catherine is wonderful with kids and babies! She respects all wishes and makes sure your kiddos are cared for while enjoying playing! Catherine keeps my kids while I received cancer treatments. It is crucial that I trust who my kids are with while I can't be available. She provides a safe, fun environment for my kids. I trust her with my kids and happy my kids love her!! 

I spoke to Catherine over the phone for 20 minutes and instantly felt connected to her! We moved to the town she lives in and she was SO helpful in giving me insight on daycare centers in the area. Since the waitlists are long, she said she would watch my little one until we are off one of the 6 waitlists we are currently on. She sends updates and pictures through out the day. You can tell she cares about your children as much as you do! I would recommend!

Catherine is the sweetest and kindest woman! She is so good with my baby. And the whole time she has your baby she is very open with communication, always keeping you in the loop and even sends pictures! She is great. Also if you are in a pinch you can hit her up and she is quick to respond and help. Very dependable and very good with kids. 10/10

I have never trusted anyone with my child more than I have trusted Catherine. She instinctively treated my son as she would her own. She was caring, attentive, even went above and beyond to do things that I never even asked but, that she knew would be helpful.

I would highly recommend Catherine to care for your children, she has a gift. My son absolutely loved her.

Catherine was the first babysitter I've ever hired other than family. I interviewed her and she instantly blew me away. I brought my child with me and my child immediately took to Catherine. I was amazed. Catherine has such a loving, caring heart. I was so blessed to have found her when I did. She is an incredible person. She is so great with children. She taught my baby how to clap in two days!!! She has so many toys my child loved going to her house. These days its so hard to find a trustworthy dependable person. Catherine is all of those things!

We are so lucky to have found Catherine! In an emergency with our 11-month-old and my back pulled out, Catherine came to the rescue on time and with a smile. I was amazed at how quickly she fit into our family and our baby's schedule. Not only does she take direction incredibly well she is a hard worker, takes imitative and when it's needed goes with the flow. But above all, what really makes Catherine stand out is her intuition with children. When she told me she had a background with children I never could've understood what a great connection she has with them. My 11th month old has never eaten so well (she has gotten him to eat his most hated vegetables) or slept so long! We are truly lucky to have her, Thank you Catherine!!

Catherine is amazing! We recently hired her to babysit our 4 year old. We had never hired a sitter before so we were very nervous but as soon as we met Catherine we immediately felt comfortable leaving our daughter with her. She was quick to respond when I checked in. She is experienced, friendly, and exceeded our expectations for a first time sitter! Our daughter hasn't stopped talking about how much fun she had and can't wait for her to come back and play again!

Catherine was amazing with our 4 month old while on vacation. She was caring, Flexible and thoughtful. We wish we could take her home with us!

What a delightful girl Catherine is!! She is attentive and has a great attitude. Just the kind of person that emanates kindness. Felt very comfortable leaving her with my children and would be happy to do it again!

Catherine is absolutely the best! I just moved to Sarasota and found her on here. She was quick in responding & came to watch our son! Ever since then, Catherine has been watching L. on a regular basis. She goes out of her way to accommodate and find new activities for him. He absolutely adores her and always has such a great time when he's with her! If I could give her 10 stars I would! She is amazing.

Catherine was excellent with our newborn! She was recommended by a personal friend of ours. We talked with her on the phone and texted numbers times before meeting her and we knew she was knowledgeable about babies! We then met up and we instantly liked her... Very nice, mature, and did great with the baby! She fed him a bottle and he was very comfortable with her! Background check was clean and her references were impeccable, so I was more at ease! We had her watch him 2 hours for the first time while we did house work and she did great! We installed video cameras and there is audio (she was aware of this) so I would check in at work.... She was calm, efficient, and very responsible! We are very pleased with her and will definitely have her watch our baby again!

Catherine was communicative and dependable. The kids loved spending time with her and I would definitely hire her again. :)

Catherine is a total pro! She babysat for my sister-in-law and my children - four kiddos ranging from 7 months to 3 years of age - several times while we were on vacation in Siesta Key. No only did the kids listen to her, they kept asking for her to babysit again and again. She kept our children safe, fed and occupied with beach trips, arts and crafts, etc. What more could you ask for :-) I wholeheartedly recommend Catherine!

Catherine did a great job watching my little girl.

Catherine did an awesome job taking care of our boys (8 months and 4 yr old). She was on time, kind, and very easy to talk to. I look forward to having Catherine babysit for our boys again soon.
