About Cathy

38 years old Speaks Greek English Spanish
Since I was sixteen years old I have been volunteering every year as a summer camp escort to children of various ages, both boys and girls. During the university years I have been working as a babysitter for babies, from two months old to teenagers. I was also helping many of them with their homework (references available). I have also been working for the biggest amusement park in Greece where I undertook many tasks such as event management, childcare and entertainment, as well as escorting children to all the attractions of the Park, making sure they are safe. Later I worked as an escort to a wheelchair-bound girl with severe motion and developmental disability during her social and sport activities. This heroine is a Paralympics medallist with a really busy daily program. This has been an unprecedented and influential experience that changed the way I think and act. Since then, I have been working with special kids with mental disabilities voluntarily and professionally. During the last summers I have been working as an escort to children with mental and movement disabilities in special summer camps as an employee of the mental institution. (References available).
