Meet Gretchen
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
My background includes excellent experience ensuring the safety and wellbeing of young children in my care as an Instructional Assistant. Where I currently organize activities, prepare and serve meals/snacks, assist with toileting and changing, cleaning toys, setting up special projects, sanitizing facilities, and encouraging emotional development and growth are just a few of the areas in which I excel. Additionally, I have strong experience helping children through separation anxiety, using distraction and refocusing techniques to help children through the transition of separating from their parents/caregivers. My previous child care skills and experience, along with my positive attitude and friendly personality, position me to excel in this role with Fairfax County Public Schools.
