Hi, I’m Ms. Katy! I started off as a babysitter for a couple of years and have been a nanny for six years, working with children from 6 months to 6 years old. I’m currently enrolled at Los Medanos Community College, where I’m majoring in Early Childhood Education.
My favorite thing about working with children is helping them explore and learn new things. I love being able to make a positive impact in their lives by supporting them and creating a safe, welcoming space where they can thrive. One of my favorite children’s books is Amelia Bedelia—these stories remind me of my childhood and the special moments I shared reading them with my mom.
Christmas is one of my favorite holidays because it brings my family together. We also celebrate Día de los Muertos in my culture, a beautiful holiday dedicated to honoring and remembering loved ones who have passed. One of my favorite family traditions is celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve and opening presents at midnight.
At home, I speak both English and Spanish. I also have two cats—an orange one named Simba and a black one named Scarlet. In my personal time, I enjoy going to the gym and reading books.
