Hello, my name is Katherina Oleynichenko. I am currently a college student in my last semester at Sacramento City College studying Early Childhood Education and planning on transferring to Sacramento State University in the fall to continue pursuing childhood education. In my professional experience, I have babysat toddlers through kindergarten-aged children at my church on Thursday night every other week for the past two years. My goal was to make sure all the children would play nice, eat and enjoy their snacks, and leave the center with a smile on their faces. At my church, I also participated as a lead counselor and supervisor of children in a program called Vacation Bible School which occurs every summer as a day camp for children ages 6-10. Through Vacation Bible school, I not only supervised children but made sure all were happy, entertained, and fed, as we also had snacks throughout the Read more day and you know what happens when I child does not eat, they are cranky. Another professional experience that I am currently a member of is Awana Clubs, which is ages from 4-6 and 7-12. I volunteer as the main coordinator and also a crew leader which oversees the children and their behavior. I practice Bible verses with them, participate in sports activities, and share lots of hugs. I also have experience with infants and pre-toddlers. I was the main babysitter for 4 years while my own little brother was growing up and I have learned what it means to have a crucial bedtime/daytime schedule for infants, from nap time to food breaks and how much attention infants and little babies need and crying is their main source of disagreement but should not be their main source of communication and smiling is better. Some skills that I have gained over the years are good time management and patience with children. Children want your undivided attention and unconditional affection and as an adult or babysitter, my goal is to provide that environment while also supporting their growth into future young adults. One of my greatest achievements and growth moments as a student in early childhood development and personal development is being able to think of entertaining activities fast and fun games to play if the child begins to get bored. Being creative is an amazing source of outlet to let children be who they are through painting, coloring, or doing various crafts. I also speak Russian. Looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family. Thank you!

Katie has helped us summers and after shool as a buddy for our autistic tween. She always showed up with a smile on her face, ready to engage and play with him – sitting on the floor for hours playing LEGOs and trains. He loves to talk, and she was great at having conversations with him, keeping him safe, and helping him stick to his routine. Katie was respectful and treated our home with care. She was always cheerful and had a positive attitude.
