She ensures a stimulating environment, incorporating interactive storytime, scheduled playdates, and outings to enhance social and cognitive development.
Beyond caregiving, Catherine is a registered driver for HopSkipDrive, specializing in safe transportation for children aged 4 to 13. Her commitment extends to being a camp counselor at Camp Couture, teaching sewing to kids aged 7-12.

Catherine brings knowledge, creativity, and a nurturing spirit to her role. Whether crafting in the kitchen, leading projects, maintaining home cleanliness, or providing safe transportation, she is committed to creating a positive, enriching experience for the children under her care.
“Cat has been the full time caregiver for my two children, for over two years. She is extremely reliable, responsible, patient and caring. She has been flexible to help with pick ups for my school aged child, and she takes our toddler to engaging and educational activities during the day.
I've had multiple parents and teachers from my children's school pull me aside to tell me how wonderful and engaged Cat is. Cat consistently facilitates creative projects, like making jewelry and art. Further, Cat has a wonderful, positive attitude, that makes her a joy to be around. I highly recommend Cat.”
