About Catherine
Experience: 32 yrs
30 yrs experience has taught me children learn through play, curiosity, and exploration at their own pace. I provide a safe loving environment nurtures kind, inquisitive, confident children through thoughtful materials I provide, planning and "in the moment" opportunities that foster wonder. Each interaction is an opportunity, conflicts teach negotiation and problem solving, injuries allow for empathy, and mealtimes encourage conversation and manners. I plan art, science, sensory, music & social emptional learning. Field trips & outdoor exploration are essential including museums, parks, grocery stores, and neighborhood walks to count flags, examine spider webs, or collect leaves. I am trained in developmental milestones & provide activities encouraging next steps. I believe our partnership thrives on open communication and respect. Early childhood is my passion. I wake excited for each day's magic! I would love to bring my expertise to your family!
Most recent review
Cathy took care of our first child during the height of COVID for a about a year and a half. We feel fortunate to have found her. Cathy approached her time with our daughter with kindness, thoughtfulness and, importantly, professionalism. She brought a teaching a curriculum based approach to her job as opposed to merely babysitting. We appreciated Cathy’s wealth of knowledge on early education and childcare generally that she accumulated in her years of experience as a nanny plus college training. We always appreciated that we could ask Cathy and question and receive a helpful response. As new parents, we had many questions. Above all else, Cathy is reliable and trustworthy. She never missed a day of work without reasonable notice and we never once questioned whether she would handle things at the house appropriately. Anyone looking for a nanny should strongly consider Cathy. She is amazing.
