I’m an energetic caregiver with certification in early childhood care and background in nutrition. Previous position incorporated infant care and light housekeeping. Seeking a permanent position assisting single family with multiple children to develop life skills. I’m a mother of two girls 17 and 12 so I have lots of home experience. Education is important to me my 17 year old just graduated with a 4.25 gpa from Sci high academy. I've taken care of children on base at the Army Corp as well as Tulane and LSU. I am 1 year away from my BA in early childhood education. I understand that the needs of children go way beyond just basic care, they need help with cognitive development, social emotional development, fine and gross motor and they need love. I know I’ll be a great fit to your company because I’ve made a career of taking care of people, Read more especially children. I don’t just work in child care, It’s a natural part of who I am. I choose teaching as my career because it’s a when I’m on the clock working taking care of my students is when I feel validated. I was once asked what’s your “work” not what’s your job or career what’s your work on earth, I responded taking care of people!
