Meet Catherine

Hi! Caring for children has always been one of my favorite things to do and has led me to seek out more opportunities to work with families, especially since COVID-19! I love working with kids to be a positive influence in their lives and a person that they can see as someone they can trust and even as a friend! I have a gentle, patient approach with each child, whether it be about rules and boundaries, diffusing meltdowns, or setting the scene for their favorite imaginary game! It is my priority to ensure that the child feels validated, understood, and listened to. I have experience both with date-night babysitting and nannying (including online learning). I try to be as educational as I can with the kids by throwing in facts and information into everything we're doing, whether it be about the plants and animals we see on our walks or Read more how the toys we play with work! Previous kids have seemed to really enjoy learning while playing and feel a lot more confident in themselves as a result! I am also a huge(!!!) animal lover and would love the chance to be your pet-sitter, as well!
