A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a bilingual aide for Cleveland Metro Schools, currently supporting students in grades K–8. I have 4 years of experience in daycare, preschool, and public school settings, with my strongest experience in preschool-aged care.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish with a minor in Communication, and I bring a calm, creative, and caring approach to my work. I strive to help kids feel safe, encouraged, and understood—whether we’re playing games or working through emotions. I’m also happy to support household routines and keep open communication with parents throughout the day.

I’m looking for a summer role with a family who values a reliable, nurturing caregiver. I also enjoy taking kids on outings, like the park, library, or a local museum—anything that gets kids exploring the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing yoga, and going to the beach.
