A little bit about me

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am preparing to begin my master’s program to further advance my academic and professional development. Over the past year, I have worked as a preschool teacher, where I have gained hands-on experience supporting young children’s learning, emotional growth, and development. My background in psychology, combined with my experience in early childhood education, has strengthened my understanding of child behavior and reinforced my passion for working with and supporting others.

A little bit about me

I’m a college student athlete so I have plenty of energy to care for kids. I have a large extended family so I’ve had my shares watching my cousins or their kids and I’ve learned ways to bond with kids and communicate with them to understand their needs, how their feeling, or simply to have a good time! Being an athlete speaks a lot to my character because it has taught me discipline, punctuality and you can always count on me to put my 100% in everything I do. I’m pretty easy to get along with, very social and open to new opportunities and adventures!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kimberly De Jesus, i’m 20 years old in college studying psychology to become a child psychiatrist or psychologist. I have been working with children ever since my first sister got pregnant. I have been with kids my whole life and grew and love and passion for teaching, and creating relationships with them! I wouldn’t do this job if i didn’t love kids, I wouldn’t be the person i am if i didn’t have a passion to teach, connect and care for children! Although i am 20, I feel like i have more than enough experience than many with kids. I also feel like not everyone works good or even likes kids, so finding someone who loves what they do is difficult. Thank you!
