A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Caty, a 35 year-old nanny with 15+ years of childcare experience and over 10 years as a Certified Nursing Assistant. My background in healthcare allows me to confidently care for children of all ages, including those with special needs. Originally from Wisconsin, I spent 14 years in Florida and have lived in Denver for the past 10 years. I love outdoor activities like hiking, snowboarding, and exploring parks in my free time with my Husband. I enjoy taking children to museums, libraries, and zoos, encouraging curiosity and hands-on learning while limiting screen time. Known as “Aunt Cat,” I take a nurturing yet structured approach—guiding children with patience, empathy, and positive discipline. Families describe me as dependable, engaged, and flexible, always willing to help with date nights, overnights, or consistent weekly care. I’m passionate about creating safe, enriching environments where children can thrive.

More About Me

I was a teacher at 02B Kids in Florida, teaching kids about fitness, and helping with birthday parties also!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

As a nanny, I love making the most of everything Colorado has to offer for kids! Whether it’s hiking through Garden of the Gods, exploring dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Ridge, or riding the train at the Denver Zoo, I’m always looking for fun and educational ways to keep children active and engaged. I enjoy visiting places like the Children’s Museum of Denver or the WOW! Museum in Lafayette for creative indoor play, and I regularly attend local storytimes at libraries to encourage a love of reading.

In every season, I find ways to make memories—snow tubing in the winter, visiting pumpkin patches in the fall, or picking berries in the summer. I’m also a big fan of simple joys: park picnics, fountain play, farmers markets, and long bike rides along Colorado’s scenic trails. I strive to create enriching, screen-free experiences that help children grow, explore, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My most important and favorite part of being a nanny is building genuine, lasting connections with the children I care for—watching them grow, learn, and discover the world around them while knowing I played a positive role in their journey!
