Kathy
Greetings, families!
I’m Kathy and I have 10+ years of experience working with children between the ages of 1-15 years old. I am currently a Preschool Assistant Teacher. I have always had a passion and interest in working with children. I started as a Sunday school teacher, then moved on to babysitting and tutoring in private residences. I was also a one-on-one aide for children with Autism, teaching communication and social skills. In addition, I worked as a Resident Assistant at an arts summer camp for preteens. Since moving to New York, I have provided childcare services to different families and within those roles engaged children in arts and crafts projects, stories, educational games, and park and museum visits.
Working with children gives me a sense of pure joy and purpose. I love the wide-eyed curiosity that children possess. I can relate to children sensitively and cater to each child's individual needs by listening and observing them. My goal is to help mold lifelong learners who grow up to be happy, well-adjusted, and kind to others.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, art/painting, movies, writing, taking walks, trying new restaurants, and more.
