I am Christena Ann Cathey and I am a step-mother to my six year old son, and have a little baby girl coming very soon!! I am also the eldest of 6 siblings and started my passion for caring/sitting when I seen my mother struggling as a single parent. I was about 11-12 when I started over night sitting. I have always found joy in lending a helping hand, since I was very young I've had a skill with children; a sense of understanding so it seemed. Starting off with my siblings then later making a job of it, friends and other family members started requesting my service. I realized then that being a care giver seemed to be my passion!! I find it most rewarding to be a parent, and with (dare i say) spare time on my hands I am here for the families and parents who may Read more need a little extra help. I know the struggle of work, school, family time, meetings, extras etc. let me tell you all is not lost!! I am currently watching two girls 4 and 7 Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday just to make parents aware. I have no problem with adding your joy's to the scene! They are just great girls and so well behaved, We say the more the merrier lol Park trips are a lot more fun with your mates! I am able to watch up to 5 children at the moment Mon-Friday and times can be discussed accordingly. I live near the Charlotte public schools but with school being out soon that probably won't be a huge concern. I do enjoy babysitting at my home, I have a fenced in back yard and live by oak park and MI works and my kiddies just love taking trips to the park! I have 2 cats and a dog, let me assure you these 3 are the biggest babies of them all lol Very, very kid friendly(buuuut I do tend to keep them outside more so than not for space and allergy reasons). I am willing to make some adjustments for anyone who is open to it. Communication is a really big thing for me, I like to make sure everyone feels secure!! I'm open for phone calls and interviews and my number will be posted for any further questions or concerns, or if you want to add me to your team!! I am looking forward to giving some of you parents a bit of relief and to meeting and adding your bundles of joy to the learning, and fun!! Peace and Love :)
