About Catherine

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a licensed midwife and have taken time off from being on call to have a bit more of a predictable schedule doing something I love. I desire to work with children again and am seeking a position with the right family. I've always had a love for children being with children and watching them grow and develop, and knowing I was part of their fostering, is the greatest reward anyone could ask for. This is what had me seek a degree in Early Childhood Education which I completed in 2011. I have extensive experience working with children and families since 2001. From babysitting, to nannying, to being a lead and assistant teacher of multiple classrooms to then helping families have their own babies and working tons with newborns. I love including music in my care with children and depending on their age I could include teaching any of the following instruments: ukulele, guitar, hand drums, and some piano. Can include some conversational Spanish and Portuguese - not fluent.

We LOVE Catherine!! I have a 9yo son and a 4yo son who absolutely adore her and a 4mo son who surely will soon. She's so attentive to my boys' needs (and mine as their mother!) and very respectful of any boundaries we have. There are few people my husband and I trust outside of family with our kids, and she's at the top of the list for sure. You can tell children bring her so much joy. She was made to be surrounded by them!
