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!”
