Hi! I'm Catherine-CPR/First Aid-trained nanny with 15 yrs of experience. I'm a kid at heart who believes in active play & fostering age-appropriate independence. My specialty is behavior modification & teaching kids that following rules and having good manners is COOL! I have extensive experience working with special-needs, mostly nonverbal severely autistic kids. Since 2005, I've worked as a substitute teacher with GCPS tutor part time & coach private gymnastics. Beyond childcare, I'm a holistic veterinary practitioner & certified canine nutritionist with a small private practice & a flexible schedule. I'm happy to assist with cooking, cleaning, errands, transportation, homework, lawn care, laundry and pets. I'd love the opportunity to discuss how I can help support your family & positively impact your child's life.
