About Catherine

Experience: 18 yrs

With 18 years of experience nurturing young minds, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine enthusiasm to childcare. My graduate degree complements my practical experience and coursework in Early Child Development. I am a patient, creative, and friendly caregiver. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and text messages, always following your preferred method. I am also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I am First Aid and CPR Trained, and a Certified Teacher. I would love to use my skills to provide a safe, fun, and enriching environment for your child.

I would highly recommend Catherine!! She was amazing with my 1.5 year old daughter who was home sick. Catherine jumps right in and is a master of keeping her happy and getting her down for naps. She was also so good with our two dogs! She put me at ease so I could focus on working for the day. We will definitely be asking her to come back!
