About Catherine

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! My name is Catherine. I'm a loving, energetic, playful, and responsible Newbury Park mom. I have two biological adult sons; and have been blessed to be foster mom to 15 children so far ranging in age from 10 weeks to 18 years. Children are my passion! I thoroughly enjoy each stage of a child's development, and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. In addition to raising children, I have been babysitting since I was a preteen. I love pets, have clean driving record and background checks; and am happy to provide references. Helping families is a sincere privilege. I am grateful for your consideration.

A++ FABULOUS CARETAKER - BABY WHISPERER Trusting your child with someone can be one of the hardest things a parent can do especially for overnight stays - but choosing Catherine to be that person was the best decision we ever made. We have not been away from either of our children for a weekend trip since our oldest was born (4 years ago for context). So, it was time!! While one of the grandma's had our oldest - we needed someone to care for our infant since she wasn't sleeping through the night and needed constant attention. We searched and searched until we finally found Catherine! She is one of the kindest and sweetest human beings I've ever met and our baby instantly felt at home with her, which is a major green flag for us and a must!! She is literally the baby whisperer!! She even helped me start sleep training my baby (with my approval) and I couldn't be more grateful (I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing in that regard and can use all the help I can get). My baby is continuing the training and it's going so well!!! I have gotten more sleep since being home than the I have the last 8 months! She was ready for this next step! Catherine was always in communication with me and would send me pictures of my baby throughout the day! She made it so easy to enjoy my vacation even though I was stressing like crazy before I dropped her off - so worried that my little would be overwhelming to anyone but me. But Catherine was prepared and handled everything beautifully including my own anxiety. Our visit lasted a few days and when I picked up my baby - she had bonded so beautifully with Catherine and her family that she kept wanting to switch between us! Safe to say a lasting bond was made and we will forever be grateful for finding Catherine! I will absolutely be reaching out to Catherine for our next trip!
