I am an associate teacher at Bright Horizons at High Ridge Park in Stamford, Connecticut. I am also working toward an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and later a Bachelor's degree in Special Education. I absolutely love working with children and I feel that I have always been able to make meaningful connections with all the children I have interacted with. My favorite part about working with children is answering their many questions throughout the day and when I am able to answer one, finding out the answer, in which case we'd both be learning something new. I love to help children solve problems by suggesting possible solutions and later observing how they choose to handle these situations on their own. I have just became employed by Bright Horizons, however I have been babysitting family members, friends' children and children around the neighborhood for about seven years. I truly Read more believe that I have found my passion.
