A little bit about me
Hi! I am a recent graduate of OSU and where I majored in Criminology and Psychology in the Honors program. I have had experience working with children at the Cincinnati Zoo through the education department for the past ten years, five of which I have been the sole person responsible for educating and engaging 10-12 kids in camp. These children range from age 2 years to 14 years. My experience here has taught me a ton of fun games, activities and crafts that I love to do with the kids that they love too! I am up to date on my vaccinations and am CPR certified. I am available and happy to help most weekdays and weekends. I hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
Soy una persona cariñosa, paciente y llena de energía positiva. Disfruto compartir tiempo con los niños, guiarlos con amor y ayudarles a aprender y crecer en un ambiente seguro y alegre. Me gusta pensar que ser niñera no solo es cuidar, sino también crear momentos bonitos que los pequeños recordarán con una sonrisa.
Me considero muy responsable, puntual y atenta a cada detalle. Sé mantener la calma en cualquier situación, y siempre busco combinar el juego con el aprendizaje. Me encanta hacer actividades creativas, leer cuentos, enseñar buenos modales y fomentar el respeto y la empatía desde pequeños.
Lo que me distingue es mi capacidad para conectar genuinamente con los niños: los escucho, los entiendo y los hago sentir valorados. Además, mantengo una comunicación abierta y constante con los padres, porque creo que el trabajo en equipo es clave para brindar el mejor cuidado posible. 💕

A little bit about me
my name is Kathy. I’ve been working with kids of different ages for a while now. I’ve taken care of babies I cared for a 2-month-old.
I also have experience working with more than one child at the same time, and with kids of different ages — like taking care of a baby and a toddler together, or helping in classrooms with several children.
I used to work as a teacher assistant in Kindergarten and Daycares, so I’m very comfortable managing different routines and planning activities that match each child’s age and needs, out things like go to the library and the zoo.
I’m a very loving, patient, and organized person. I like to plan activities that help children learn and have fun — for babies, things like tummy time, sensory play, or early stimulation.
I really love what I do, and I always try to create a warm, safe, and happy environment for the children I take care of. I have my CPR certified.
