Hi! I'm Catalina, a caring, responsible, and bilingual caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to adolescents. I have a background in Psychology and experience working with children with special needs, as well as extensive experience as a nanny and childcare provider. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and engaged. I love doing age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and creative activities. I’m also happy to support families with routines, homework, and bedtime when needed. I’m CPR trained, have reliable transportation, and can provide references. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and am comfortable working with both children and pets. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting in the afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m happy to help with date nights, occasional childcare, school pick-ups, or when parents simply need an extra hand.
“Catalina was an incredible caretaker for my daughter! My daughter warmed to her right away. Catalina had many ideas for crafts and activities to keep my daughter engaged for a full day - and what a fun surprise for me to see their artwork at the end of the day! Catalina is calm, friendly, and knowledgeable about children. It was a great experience!”
As an experienced and nurturing childcare provider with a strong background in both childcare and public school education, I am dedicated to fostering a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment for children. My approach is centered around building meaningful, trusting relationships with children and their families, while promoting positive behaviors, emotional growth, and academic success. I am a licensed nursing assistant and CPR and First Aid certified. Others have described me as patient, creative, resourceful, and always having a positive attitude. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working with children from infancy to PreK. I have a strong background in creating age-appropriate activities that engage children’s imaginations, promote social and emotional development, and ensure their well-being. I am skilled in preparing meals, managing daily routines, and providing educational support as needed. I also have a background in working in public schools with general education and special education students. I have an understanding of the academic and social needs of children in a structured learning environment. I have assisted in classrooms, helping students with homework, guiding them through projects, and ensuring they stay on track with their academic progress. My experience in a classroom setting enables me to offer a unique perspective and contribute to a child’s academic and personal growth at home.
“Kiya helped us out at the last minute. She arrived on time and maintained great communication throughout the day. We will definitely use her again! ”
Hello! My name is Lisa and I am 26 years old. I have been working on and off as a nanny and house manager since I graduated high school about 8 years ago. I have had a lot of experience being around children since I was young because my mother had an at-home daycare for 15 years. I helped along side my mom with many of the kids ranging in age from 10 weeks old to about 12 years old. Along with that I also have babysat for many families for the past 12 years. I would say most of my experience is with toddlers but I've also watched after kids up to the age of 15. I have done extended overnight stays(up to 2 weeks), vacationing with families and have experience driving to and from school, friends houses, or sports practice. I’ve also helped families with groceries, meal prep, household chores, doctors appointments and other miscellaneous errands. I have had my license for 10 years now and have a clean record. No accidents or tickets. I have my own car and insurance. Some activities I enjoy doing with kids are reading books, playing at parks or just outside, coloring, helping with homework, playing with Legos or just toys in general, and doing arts and crafts. Before the pandemic, I also worked at a children's gymnastics gym and play-place for a few months before the location I worked at sadly had to close down due to COVID. While there I learned some developmental activities for the kids I specialized with. The age group I focused on while there ranged in age from 14 weeks up to about 4 years old. I’m also fully vaccinated and adult and infant CPR and first aid certified.

I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I would love to be a reliable babysitter your family can call when you need occasional childcare!
