Hello, I've been babysitting for over 8 years and love being around children as i grew up in a large family of 9! :) My background is in Counseling Psychology and I have lots of experience working with children and teens and those with special needs (Autism, ADHD, ID/DD) . I love caring for infants, toddlers and tweens, and like dogs, but have a strong allergy to cats. I have my own car and can drive the kids to camp or sports , and I'm also a great cook! I love board games, puzzles, legos, movies, tennis, basketball and walks to the park. I'm great with dinner prep and bedtime routines, and love to read to children. I hope to hear from you soon! :)

Cathy is kind, friendly, reliable and has been a great help to us since we moved to the area. Our boys got on with her straight away and love playing with her. She goes the extra mile and has washed up dishes and offered to help unpack boxes. We are so glad to know her and will continue to hire her for watching our boys. Cathy is very trustworthy and I highly recommend her to other families.

She was punctual and very nice. My son cried since it was his first time with a babysitter. She was able to make him feel better. She also had patients with my special needs child. I had no problems and will continue to use her.

Cathy is a wonderful babysitter. She's very sweet to my girls and spent time with them making arts and crafts and playing chess. My girls loved having her as a sitter and are both excited to see her again. I will definitely contact her again if I need a sitter.
