Meet Catherine

  • Speaks French
  • Comfortable with pets

I recently graduated from Smith College with an MFA in Dance.  Before I went back to school to earn my Master's degree, I lived in Boston and worked as a lead teacher in a morning and after-school program in Belmont, Massachusetts.  I have also taught dance and creative movement to children of all ages, both in public schools and at private studios.  I'm fun, active, creative, and responsible, and have experience with infants through teenagers.

Catherine was wonderful!!! She was really sweet with our 13-month old. She considered his needs and kept him entertained through reading books, hands-on activities, and stroller rides (which he loves). When my husband and I got home he was cuddled up on her lap and it seemed as though he did not miss us one bit! I highly recommend Catherine. She is fantastic.

Catherine was great with our 18-month old. She was excellent at following my son's lead and not coming on too strong. I highly recommend Catherine as a sitter and hope to employ her again soon! :)
