About Catherine

Experience: 10 yrs

Caring for children is my passion. My positive experiences in previous babysitting roles, supporting families, and providing reliable childcare have shaped my path. As a dependable mother of four and with over 30 foster children growing up, I've gained invaluable experience. My background as a retired Firefighter and paramedic for CFD further enhances my ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment. I'm creative, imaginative, friendly, and approachable. I communicate with parents using their preferred method. I encourage good manners, fun daily activities, and laughter. I enjoy playing educational games that promote learning. With 20 years of experience and some college education, I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, ages 0-4yrs old. I am CPR and First Aid certified.
