About Catherine

Experience: 9 yrs

Hi families! My name is Cat. I'm a Nanny who has spent nine AMAZING years growing with kids - most recently with a family of two doctors for over five years, since their little ones were newborns- As I prepare to move to San Diego -beginning of April- I'm eager to find a new family to laugh, support, and grow with. I've cared for kids from newborns through middle school and truly love being part of their routines and growing alongside them- I'm super comfortable with everything from bottle feeding and nap schedules to school pickups, homework help, and keeping older kids engaged. About me! I'm a photographer, love exploring outdoors, reading, and doing crafts. My faith is really important to me and shapes the way I show up in my everyday life and especially work. I care a lot about creating a warm, safe, and positive environment for everyone. I'd love to connect and see if we might be a good fit!

I am pleased to highly recommend Catherine as a babysitter and caregiver. She has been caring for my daughter since she was just 2 months old, and my daughter is now 18 months old. During this time, Catherine has been nothing short of exceptional. Catherine is kind, respectful, attentive, and incredibly nurturing. She is very observant and always tuned in to my daughter’s needs, ensuring she is safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. What truly sets Catherine apart is the genuine love and care she shows—she treats my daughter as if she were her own. My daughter was unexpectedly born with a cleft palate, which required a significant level of specialized care from infancy. From newborn to 9 months old, she needed to be fed using a specialty bottle and required extra precautions during every feeding. Catherine handled this with incredible diligence, patience, and care, always ensuring that all proper techniques and safety measures were followed. Following my daughter’s cleft repair surgery, Catherine continued to go above and beyond during a very sensitive and challenging recovery period. My daughter had to wear arm restraints (“no-nos”) and follow a strict all-liquid diet for the first week, followed by a soft food diet for several weeks after. Catherine stepped in with compassion and confidence, making sure my daughter remained comfortable, safe, and on track for proper healing. She truly took my daughter into her own hands during this time, providing not only physical care but emotional comfort through an understandably difficult experience. She consistently goes above and beyond for our family, whether it’s helping maintain routines, keeping everything organized, or simply being a dependable and trusted presence in our home. I have complete confidence in her, and any family would be lucky to have her. I wholeheartedly recommend Catherine without hesitation.
