Catherine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Catherine—a warm, reliable, and playful caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as a Certified Infant & Toddler Teacher and a Certified Behavior Technician, and I’ve supported many amazing kids, including those with developmental and neurodivergent needs. I’ve recently finished my masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling and looking for babysitting opportunities while I build my caseload. I am passionate about creating safe, nurturing spaces for kids to thrive, especially when parents need a little extra support. Families often say I bring a calm, engaging energy that helps their children feel seen and supported. I love being outdoors, exploring new places, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. I tend to click best with families who are kind, inclusive, and open to a little fun!

“I had the pleasure of having Michelle care for my children, and I can’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly nurturing, patient, and attentive. My kids absolutely loved spending time with her—she kept them engaged with fun activities, always made sure they were safe and well cared for, and treated them with so much kindness and respect. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly has a natural gift with children. Any family would be lucky to have her as a sitter!”

"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)."
