Meet Catherine
- Speaks English
- Comfortable with pets
Coming from a very large immediate and extended family, family and its values are of utmost importance in my life. My siblings are my closest friends and I idolize my parents for the amazing job they have done in raising us all. I have been taking care of children ages infant thru adolescent since age eleven. I have previously been a nanny, I am currently a regular baby sitter equipped with cooking, cleaning, skills, etc. Previously, I have tutored 2 Italian children who had moved from Italy at a very young age. I aided them in assimilating in a US school, by keeping up with their homework and having them get comfortable with a native english speaker. Children are the most precious gift this world has to offer, as I am sure you already know. They see the world in a different light than adults, as they are still innocent Read more to the chaotic misfortunes this world can often bring. They are filled with such joy and positivity, that can truly change any person they have the opportunity to spend time with. One may learn so much from a child, as I already have learned so much from the kids I have been lucky enough to care for. I hope, if the opportunity presents itself, I can learn as much from this experience and your child/children as they can learn from me.
