One of Cate’s nominators said:
“Bringing Catelin into our family was the best decision we could ever have made, and I am grateful for the deep commitment Catelin has to our daughter and our family. Alexandra was two years old when we hired Catelin. Catelin instantly formed a close, personal bond with our daughter and took a great interest in promoting her development and well-being.”
