A little bit about me

I am an outgoing, experienced, mature, enthusiastic and very thorough childcare helper with a very positive attitude. My goal is to be-of-service to your family and promote your children's excitement in learning, growth, development, and enjoying their precious childhood days in a safe, joyful, and memorable way.

I have in-depth experience as a nanny, a yoga instructor for prenatal, mom & babes yoga, children's after-school classes, and kids summer-camps. I'm well versed in positive reinforcement, behavior modification, and the use of encouragement to build trust, and help cultivate positive behaviors in children.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Nanny for families over the last 5yrs. Prior to that have a graduate degree in human services and am well versed in the stages of the various ages during childhood development. I have worked collaboratively with children and families in many educational ways including facilitating a Summer Expressive Arts Camp for Kids for which I had created the curriculum. I have also been a yoga teacher for many many years and enjoyed offering afterschool silly stretch and yoga programs for the Newburyport Elementary Aftershool Programs plus, I taught a very successful Prenatal, and Mommy&Baby Yoga Program that was so precious and nurturing.

I love being helpful, reliable, and supportive. I am a natural teacher, and a very conscientious communicator when it comes to connecting with the parents I have worked. When I work as a nanny for a family I see myself as part of your team.

I have great references. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Catherine

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children within the asburgers/autism spectrum and feel completely comfortable working in situations with kids who have developmental delays. This is inpart due to the fact that I grew up adoring my younger brother who is diagnosed with autism. I also have a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology and have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with kids and adults who have diagnosis’s that have caused them to have various developmental delays.
