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!

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend our nanny. She has been an incredible part of our family, and it is difficult to put into words how grateful we are for the care, love, and support she has provided to our children. From the day she started with us, she has consistently gone above and beyond in every aspect of her role. She is dependable, trustworthy, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of our children. She has created a nurturing, fun, and structured environment where they have thrived. Whether planning engaging activities, encouraging learning through play, or simply providing comfort and reassurance, she has always approached her work with warmth, enthusiasm, and professionalism. Beyond caring for our children, she has been an invaluable help in keeping our household running smoothly. She is proactive, organized, and always willing to jump in wherever help is needed. Due to changes in our family’s circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain a full-time nanny position. This has been an incredibly difficult decision because, if our circumstances were different, we would keep her without hesitation. Any family would be fortunate to have her. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation. She will be a tremendous asset to any household, and I am confident she will provide the same exceptional care, dedication, and kindness that she brought to ours.
