I have been working with children for approximately 12 years and I absolutely love it! I have worked with children of various ages (infants to pre-teens) in both education and childcare settings. I also have experience working with children with special needs, more specifically, Autism. I am currently a part-time preschool teacher and am looking for work part-time in the evenings Mon-Thurs (from around 330pm/4pm-8pm). My experience and passion for working with children are two of the many positive qualities I bring to my work. I find it very rewarding to be a part of a child’s development; not only in their educational development, but also in their development as a whole person. My main goals when working with children is to uphold and respect the image of the child, to view every part of the day as an opportunity for learning (and fun!), and to provide an learning experiences Read more that are play-based, developmentally appropriate, fun, creative, and supportive! Besides working with children, I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going to the beach, cooking, creating art, singing, attending the theatre, and being outdoors! If you feel like I could be a good fit for your family, please contact me! Also, I will be happy to give you my references once we have been in contact. Thank you for your time!
