About Cathy
Experience: 10 yrs
Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I have dedicated the past 10 years to making a positive impact on the lives of the families I support. As a Certified Teacher with a graduate degree, I bring a calm, patient, and approachable presence to your home. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules and maintaining consistency. Whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or heading outside for physical activities, I prioritize educational engagement. I am happy to provide daily reports or follow your preferred communication style to keep you updated. Because I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision, and I am always glad to assist with carpooling or pet care. I look forward to building a warm, reliable connection with your family and helping your children thrive every day.
Most recent review
Cathy cared for my son for about 2 months. She resigned from the job when my son was 5 months old. My son just didn’t seem to adjust to her and we ultimately determined it wasn’t a good fit. My son is breast fed and would have a difficult time when he would get hungry and tired. He would cry and she wasn’t able to comfort him. Cathy told me that she would dread the time of day he would get tired which made me uncomfortable with him in her care. I do not feel infants are a good fit for her.
