My name is Catherine and I am a mature, educated, loving mother of 2 grown daughters and grandmother of a two and 1/2 year old toddler who I adore and have consistently cared for since birth. I am highly involved with any child in my care, and take my job very seriously. Keeping your children safe, well nourished, and happy are my highest priorities. I also engage children in age appropriate conversation, singing, laughter, reading, learning, playing games, building forts -- basically whatever they enjoy doing. Under your direction, I would take the very best care of your precious ones, and work within the family structure. I have a very outgoing, kind demeanor as well as excellent communication skills. I never raise my voice to children but have the courage to say no when the occasion arises. I also do not believe in television as a sole means of entertainment Read more for children. I am looking for afternoon and early evening hours with of family with one to two children, preferably within a 10 mile radius of my Ridley Park neighborhood. Under your direction, I would take the very best care of your child(ren) and work within the family structure for continuity.

We hired Cathy to care for our 9-year old son after school. She was absolutely wonderful - kind, caring, and very reliable. Cathy is a very safe driver and always helped out with transportation to and from soccer practice. She also oversaw the homework assignments, read books and played boardgames with our son. And a huge bonus . . . she is a very good cook!!!
