About Catherine

In my youth, I cared for hundreds of children and even was a nanny for a family of eight, yes eight girls one summer when their parents were in Europe. I have since cared for the children of my friends and relatives- from diapers to degrees. As a children' s book author, I have entertained and taught thousands of kids, grades Pre-K through 8. In addition to my work in schools, I have tutored at-risk children for the past 15 years. I thoroughly enjoy children and find their spontaneity refreshing. You will find me to be a kind, energetic, patient and creative person with a great sense of humor and capacity for whimsy and fun! I sing, play the piano and I do a great Donald Duck impression. I'm a physically fit, non-drinker, non-smoker and love the outdoors. I have a green thumb and I'm a very good cook. I'm an animal lover and would be happy to care for the furry members of your family, as well as the two-legged ones.
