I'd describe my personality as responsible, creative, and nurturing. I like working with kids because I enjoy helping kids reach individual milestones and nurturing their creativity. I'm looking for a job where I can build a positive work relationship with families and will offer opportunities to nurture, teach, and support children. I started working with kids at 20 years old. Working with kids inspired me to seek out higher education and helped me grow into the person I am today. In my spare time, I like to read, write, and make arts and crafts. One thing you should know about me is I ensure to create a safe learning environment for all children in my care. My skills include open communication with families, building positive rapport with both parents and their children, also providing clear, consistent, attainable instruction for young children.
