About Catherine

Experience: 10 yrs

I recently earned my MSW from Columbia University. I have years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I specialize in supporting children with disabilities, particularly Autism and other neurodiverse needs. I have worked as a nanny for multiple families and have professional experience at Massachusetts General Hospital and NYU Hospital, where I provided therapeutic support to children with Autism and support to families. My psychology and human development background helps me create engaging, supportive, and structured environments tailored to each child's needs. I am certified in CPR, first aid, and EpiPen administration, have my own car with a clean driving record, and am happy to help with household tasks. I love outdoor activities, going to the beach, and planning fun and educational experiences for kids. I was also a former swim instructor and lifeguard, so I am comfortable with water safety and swim supervision. I'd love to connect!

Cat was our summer nanny for our daughter. She was dependable, proactive and most importantly our daughter loved her! We would 100% recommend Cat as a nanny/babysitter.
