Hi there! I go by Cait, or Miss Cait per my daycare teacher days. I work full-time at a college. I am looking for a family to be occasional week day evening babysitter for. Detailed reviews can be found on my urbansitter (21 5 star reviews) and care account. My friends all have kids and would be willing to give me a glowing Auntie Cait recommendation as well. Relative background: • I am from Albany, NY which is where I spent my time achieving a B.A. in Psychology at SUNY Albany. I also have my M.S. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology as of May 2016. • Overall, I am very keen and aware about the different developmental stages and needs of children. This is thanks to being a daycare teacher, an “urbansitter,” and taking child development coursework. • I became a caregiver because kids are able to see the world unlike us Read more and I’ve never had more fun doing a job! It is the one area where I feel I’m really able to give back and find purpose. My 14 years supporting families has made me a well rounded, dependable option for families. I take my job very seriously given children are a parents world! • My favorite activities to engage children include sensory play, going outside, imaginative play, and dance party! Perk for parents: I like to clean on any downtime Professional experience: • Employed 3 years at a Childcare Center teaching children 5 months to 5 years of age -- eventually promoted to Head Toddler Teacher. • Previous substitute teacher for young adults with developmental disabilities and neurological impairments in a summer program. • Summer 2015 nanny in San Francisco to a wonderful family, 1 year old and 4 year old, who are now in Germany. • Urbansitter to many amazing families in San Francisco CA from March 2015 to July 2016 ranging from 3 mo. to 7 years old. • Full-time nanny and household helper to newborn girl, 1 year old boy, 3 year old boy February to September of 2023
