I have been working as a caregiver in and around Petaluma for the past 10 years. I have cared for children from the ages of 4 months to 9 years, and have done many nanny shares. I've always felt that children must come first in a parent's life, and so I was a full time mother to my 2 sons, now aged 21 and 24. I am very conscientious and responsible, patient and understanding of the nature and needs of children. All the families that I have worked with have always been very happy to see the deep bonds that I have forged with their children. I enjoy being outside with children, taking them to the park and other outings, and I particularly like reading to them. I have posted a couple of references here, but I encourage you to reach out for more. I was born and raised in France, and have lived in the United States for the past 25 years.

I am writing to offer my highest recommendation for Catherine, who served as our nanny for several years, caring for our daughter S from infancy through toddlerhood and our son W from age three to five. During her time with our family, Catherine proved herself to be an exceptional caregiver, and we could not have asked for a better nanny. From the moment Catherine joined our household, it was clear that she possessed a natural talent for working with children. She quickly formed deep, trusting relationships with both S and W, who absolutely adored her. Catherine's kind, patient, and compassionate nature made her an invaluable presence in our home. Catherine consistently went above and beyond in her duties. She was not only attentive to our children's basic needs but also actively engaged them in creative and educational activities that fostered their development. Whether it was reading stories, organizing fun games, or simply providing a comforting hug, Catherine's dedication to our children's well-being was unwavering. What truly sets Catherine apart is her genuine love for the children she cares for. This was evident in the way S and W responded to her—always eager to spend time with her and deeply comforted by her presence. Catherine's ability to nurture such strong bonds with our children speaks to her exceptional character and professionalism. In addition to her caregiving skills, Catherine was always punctual, reliable, and communicative. We never had to worry about the safety or happiness of our children when they were in her care. Her calm demeanor and positive attitude brought a sense of peace to our household, and we are incredibly grateful for the time she spent with our family. It is with complete confidence that I recommend Catherine to any family seeking a dedicated and loving nanny. She has truly been a blessing to our family, and we will always cherish the memories she helped create.
