A little bit about me

Hi future family!

My name is Angy, I'm 29 years old, and I'm originally from Argentina. I’m currently a graduate student at Ohio University, pursuing a Master’s degree in Spanish Literature and Latin American Studies. As part of my program, I work as a Spanish Teaching Assistant here at the university.

This summer, I’m hoping to find a childcare-related job, as I have strong experience and a true passion for working with children. In my role as a teacher, I’m often surrounded by kids and toddlers, and I genuinely believe I can be a helpful, positive presence in your home—supporting both you and your children.

I have experience working with children aged 5 to 10, as well as adolescents and children with special needs. My goal is to help alleviate your daily stress and create a fun, nurturing environment where your kids feel safe and cared for.

Looking forward to the possibility of working together and becoming a part of your family for the summer!

Warmly,
Angy

A little bit about me

I’m a recent school counseling graduate (OU) seeking summer employment while job searching for a school counseling position. I’ve just completed a year and a half long internship at Morrison Gordon Elementary School in school counseling. Prior to graduate school, I worked for CityYear in New Orleans as an intervention specialist in an elementary school there. I love kids and they love me. I’m great at coming up with activities to engage them while you’re away. If I don’t find a school counseling position for fall ‘25, a nanny position could be longer term. Thank you for considering me!
