Hello! My name is Catherine, I work in The Autism Program at Kenny Elementary in South Minneapolis. I have experience with ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, & Autism. I am CPR & First Aid Certified. I am also CPI & PCA Certified. I had my first paid Mon.-Fri. nanny position at the age of 12 and have worked with children ever since. I have an adorable, active, imaginative 8 year old daughter. I am available to nanny in your home or in my house. I drive a reliable 2006 Buick Rendezvous that has a seating capacity of 7 (5 seats not including driver & front passenger). I do house work, errands, provide transportation & homework help. I'm currently seeking full or part time before & after school jobs & a summer nanny position. I am familiar with child friendly activities around the Twin Cities area and have many great ideas as Read more far as places to bring children to for fun and enrichment as well as some super cool games and crafts to do at home. I love working with kids-their high energy is contagious to me. As the oldest child, I began babysitting at a young age and continued on to Nanning because I have a passion for nurturing little minds. I am energetic, I know how to use praise to influence positive behaviors and I have been told that I am fun by the children that I have cared for. Nothing feels better than having a parent tell me that their child wants to be watched by me because they have a good time in my care. While enjoyment of time spent in my care is important to me, I also consider it important to do so in a healthy and safe manner. I received my CNA from MCTC and I am experienced in with working with children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder. I am also familiar with using therapeutic equipment and tactics like weighted blankets, weighted vests, fidgets, music therapy, joint compressions, and sensory breaks to teach self soothing. I look forward to hearing from you!
