Hi! My name is Kay, and I’m a student at Emmanuel College in the Fenway area, where I’m pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. I have about three years of hands-on experience working with children from kindergarten through 8th grade, and I currently work in both pre- and post-school day programs as well as summer camps. Additionally, I have experience babysitting younger children, ages 2–4. Working with kids is truly my passion. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and caring environment where children feel supported and engaged. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always strive to make each child’s time with me fun, meaningful, and secure. I also have over five years of experience pet sitting both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m more than happy to take on household pet responsibilities, including feeding, walking, and providing attentive care while you’re away.
With over ten years of experience in child caregiving, I have developed a deep passion for supporting and nurturing children. Starting as a babysitter at the age of 12, I have worked with kids ranging from 9 months to 17 years old. My experience includes tutoring dyslexic students, working at a summer camp, and providing care for children with special needs. Currently, I serve as a behavioral therapist for autistic children, where I apply tailored strategies to support their growth and development. I am dedicated to creating positive, enriching experiences for every child I work with.
