I have enjoyed being an artist, mom, professional illustrator and graphic designer, certified yoga teacher, clinical counselor, and most recently a full-time nanny for the last several years. I am a mature purposefully animated, playful, organized, nurturing, safety conscious and energetic nanny. • Historically, I have taught: "Mommy&Baby"; "Playful Kids Yoga"; and “Adult Hatha Yoga” for all ages within the Newburyport After-School Program, Continuing Education Program; and in Merrimac and Amesbury MA within the context of delivering a regular routine of weekly yoga classes as part of what I shared with my clients aside from my own counseling private practice. • In graduate school, I became well versed in the ages, and stages of child development as part of human growth; positive reinforcement techniques ( vs the use of discouragement and punishment ); and the development of healthy psychological concerns which included family dynamics; communication strategies; the deescalation and management Read more of anger; and healthy conflict resolution skills. • I also coordinated the curriculum, directed, and ran a very well attended "Expressive Arts Summer Camp for Imagine Studios" for youth ages 8-11yo in Amesbury MA. • I genuinely enjoy my role of being a nurturing teacher as a nanny and I love collaborating with the families that I have worked for involving their infants, toddlers, and adolescents. I have always valued my jobs in the helping professions and I enjoy implementing an affirming, strength based approach with children, and families. I am highly skilled at creating routines, very playful learning techniques, using positive reenforcement, and applying encouraging behavior modification techniques to help motivate children to become empowered and to choose healthy and constructive behaviors for themselves. I am dedicated, hard working and committed to offering truly high quality care • Please feel free to contact me directly if you have particular questions, and would like to text, or speak on the phone, or arrange to meet in person. I can also send my resume, letters of reference, plus proof of security clearance, and exchange email addresses if you like. Thank you for your consideration, Catherine 978-518-2662
