Hi! I am currently a Junior at UCLA studying Psychology and Political Science.

Hi! I'm Cat, a college-educated, reliable nanny with 3 years of professional experience. I'm 26 and have worked with children ages 2–12, supporting families throughout my college years and beyond. My time as a nanny sparked a genuine passion for childcare that continues to this day. I am looking for part-time or one-off nanny opportunities, as I currently work full-time in the beauty marketing industry. I love planning fun, enriching activities, and I’m great with pets, music, reading, and movie time. I have my own reliable transportation and always show up on time, ready to help. If my previous families were to describe me, they'd probably say I am trustworthy, caring, and responsible. I’d love to support your family however I can!
