About Cathleen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a very reliable, patient, honest and active person who worked as a graphic artist for 30 years while raising my dogs and children (2 now in medical school). I got Red Cross WSI certified in 2019 to teach swim lessons after my day job at Milwaukee County's CRC. There I required a full background clearance in their print shop. I retired from Milwaukee County in February of 2023 to focus on finding a retirement home in AZ. In my free time I picked up nanny jobs for two families; one with a new infant and the other helping 6th grade twins after school. I also worked as a custom framer part-time to stay busy. I come from a family of 9 and my husband a family of 11. My 3 adult children have 40+ cousins and were involved in multiple sports, which I played an active volunteer part in, including carpooling and watching many children for friends and family. I am a godmother to 5 and a favorite Aunt to more. If you're local and need help, I do not disappoint.

Cathy Is simply amazing! I have twin girls and she was so good with them. She was one of the only sitters I completely felt 100% OK with and knew they were fine as long as she was watching them. Cathy takes her role very seriously, but is also fun, engaging and creative. She was always doing projects with them, and always going the extra mile! She is simply the best and my girls and I are SO sad she moved to Arizona.
