A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Kassy and I have been in childcare since I was 17 years old! I am now 22 and I am only 2 semesters away from graduating with my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently a full-time preschool teacher and a nanny on the WEEKENDS. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I am also slightly familiar with American Sign Language, I teach myself as much as I can. I am First Aid and CPR certified! I have worked with special needs children including children on the spectrum, ADHD, ADD, down syndrome, and children with anxiety. I am here to comfort your little ones, teach them, and make sure they are safe and loved!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I am currently a preschool teacher! Before moving to my current class, I was a teachers aide for an infants and toddlers class. I always get asked which age group is my favorite, but the truth is each age group is special and has their very own sense of self! For example, I do love seeing my infants develop new skills! I also enjoy answering all the “why” questions my toddlers have, and I cannot get enough of having fun conversations with my preschoolers!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Some indoor activities I enjoy doing with children include creative art and sensory activities. I find that creative art allows for our little ones imagination to open up and they are able to create anything they want with a beautiful story behind it. Sensory activities/toys help plenty with allowing our children to stimulate their five senses.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me about being a nanny is building a positive relationship with the families. What makes my heart skip a beat every single time, no matter how many times I hear it, is when the children give me a big hug and tell me “I love you, Ms.Kassy”, I cannot get enough! Those three words mean the most to me because they reassure me that I am doing a great job and sometimes I forget to remind myself so.

My experience with special needs children...

I have two nephews, one who is on the spectrum, and another who has ADHD. During a point in time, my sister was working from home, and she was not able to fully accommodate to my nephews needs at the time, (3 and nonverbal and 9 ADHD). I moved in with her for about 7 months and my duties included joining my nephews during their speech and behavior therapy and continuing their therapy exercises at home on our own. As of right now, I have a couple of students on the spectrum in my classroom, one student with social anxiety, and another student with down syndrome. I accommodate each of my students due to their learning level.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have more than one favorite nanny moment, but if I had to choose one, it would be experiencing one of my littles first time going potty on the toilet! It was a heartwarming experience and I definitely cried a little because she had NEVER gone potty before! It was a lot of trial and error before we got to that point and it wasn’t easy, but it sure was worth it.
