Clow, Catherine

I am in Essex, towards Westford town line, about 6 mins from Essex Elementary School. I have availability on MWTh, 7:30-5pm. With the graduations of kiddos, I find myself saying "I've never be able to replace this group. They are so well behaved!" But I have been blessed with many groups who are amazing!! As of 2026, my current group has been with me for about a year and a half. They know the routine and expectations but most importantly, they get along very well. I consider myself very lucky with these kids I've been working with kids all my life. I was a personal nanny for three families starting in 2009 in Greenwich CT (where I'm from), then when I moved to VT in 2012 to be with my husband, I continued nannying for two families for a few years. When we had our daughter, Meagan (March 2019), I accomplished my Dream Job and opened a daycare within our home when she was 9 months old We also have a son, Teddy (May 2022), and another daughter Cece (March 2024) We have two golden retrievers, Tommy and Hadley. We are very family oriented. My sister, Lauren, has lived with us since Meagan was 7 months old. She works in the Winooski School District, and is also my substitute for when I'm in need. She has a degree in early childhood and masters. She too was a nanny with me when we lived in CT. It was *so much fun*! My mother, Trish, is a school psychologist for younger kiddos and visits from time to time from CT. All my littles have their own relationship with both Lauren and Trish; it's pretty cute! My home is your home. I do my best to make all littles and their parents feel like our home is their second home. It's not work, it's a play date each day! If there's a mess in the house, that just means the kids are having fun!! All of the littles do a beautiful job at participating during play as well as cleaning up time. We have a good routine going and we always leave time for transitions. It's common to use a timer, and verbal reminders a few mins prior to our next transition. You provide your own foods: breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack We celebrate many silly holidays, such as kazoo day, sticky bun day, panda bear day. We also have many activities with paint and play doh. Within the first few days, I do my best to update you as much as I can, and to keep you as a fly on the wall so you know how your little is doing. I try to give you what I'd expect from someone who is watching my little. It's not easy to let them go, but I strive to make you feel 100% happy knowing your little is in good hands and is having a great time with friends. My motto is, I'm here to make your life easier. I do my best to be reliable, communication is key, and safety of the littles is the number 1 priority.
