A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Catherine and for the past 3 years I have been living in Chicago and working in Marketing/Project Management at a Tech Startup - but since being apart of a company-wide layoff last summer, I have been unsuccessful in finding a job that fits me.... so I have decided to turn to something that has been a consistent part of my life - nannying!!!
I have always loved working with kids and helping them grow - whether its my families I work with whenever I am home in Milwaukee, WI or the girls in the Girl Scout troop I organized.
I love love love the curiosity, compassion, and energy kids bring to life. It is a privilege to be able to be apart of a child's life/growth - from being able to engaging activities to heartfelt conversations, I want to make sure your child feels heard, supported, and loved through every experience.
I am located in Lakeview East and I am available for part-time or full-time care starting whenever!
