Hello! I'm an experienced professional nanny specializing in newborn and infant care. I recently returned home to Oregon and am currently based in Salem while looking for the right long-term fit. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, including premature babies, and particularly love the newborn and infant stages. I'm calm, affectionate, patient, and have a natural ability to soothe little ones. My family has called me the baby whisperer for years. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as a registered vascular sonographer, so I bring a medical background and strong attention to safety. I'm certified in Adult & Pediatric CPR/First Aid and am continuing my education in postpartum and newborn care. I'm dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family's parenting style. I love reading, walks, developmental play, and creating calm routines. I have a severe cat allergy and cannot work in homes with cats.
Catherine was our daughter’s nanny for a year, starting when she was 5 months old. She was absolutely wonderful, caring, reliable, and patient. Catherine handled everything from feedings and walks to playtime and helping with reaching milestones. Our daughter adored her, and we always felt completely comfortable leaving her in Catherine’s care.
