Catherine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Catherine. I am currently studying Early Childhood Education at Skyline College and working in a preschool with infants and toddlers. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support services. I have followed different career paths throughout my life, but I decided to pursue an area I had always wanted to experience: working with children and learning more about their education and development. Since beginning my Early Childhood Education studies, I have realized how important the early years are in a person’s development and how meaningful it is to provide children with a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. My personal experience caring for children began when I was 14 and helped my mother care for my younger brother. More recently, through my studies and work in a preschool setting, I have gained experience supporting children with daily routines, meal preparation, age-appropriate activities, and creating a safe and engaging environment. I have worked as a program instructor for adolescents and adults with special needs, where I developed strong skills in patience, communication, adaptability, and creating a safe and inclusive environment. In addition, I have experience supporting seniors with daily living activities, meal preparation, transportation to appointments, errands, and companionship. I am comfortable helping with cooking, light cleaning, and other household tasks. I am also an animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. I am caring, and committed to creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for every child, adult, pet, and family I work with.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
