A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Catalina. I grew up in Steamboat Springs, CO and I'm currently 20 and am attending smcc until I transfer to UMaine. I have worked as a summer camp counselor every summer since I was a kid! I love going outside and experiencing new things. I would love to take the kids to as many parks, museums and fun activities as we could find. I am enthusiastic and caring and nannying would allow me to share that with the kids. I would be a great match for kids who are walking and curious!

A little bit about me

I am 23 and about to hit two years living in Maine. I like meeting new people, listening to music, being outside, and hanging with friends. I’ve been learning a lot about my self but have been missing being involved with kids. From babysitting and swim lessons I’ve learned I love spending time with kids. I currently am working full time but if I find something right I’m willing to switch to nannying full time. :)

A little bit about me

My passion for childcare started twelve years ago when I took my first babysitters course through the American Red Cross. I started out as a mother's helper, then babysitter, and worked my way up to a full time nanny from there. I have worked for the same family for three years and helped them bring home two of their three children. I spent a couple summers in high school working as a recreation camp counselor in Yarmouth, there I learned a love for crafting and any kids activities.
I was blessed to go through the Falmouth school system where I received a wonderful education. I grew up very close to my immediate and extended family. Our summers are spent at my family lake house on Little Sebago. We spend our weekends; kayaking, camping, and hiking with our one year old Labrador named Goose. I absolutely love all things cooking and baking!
I have an 8 month old son who I would love to be able to bring to work with me. He is a happy, smart, funny baby who is on a great schedule.
