Amanda B.

I have spent the last two years working as a Preschool Teacher in a daycare that admits children from ages 6 weeks to 12 years.  My job was Lead Teacher in one of the ages 4-5 classrooms. The duties I performed included coming up with assessing children's academic as well as social/emotional needs and coming up with individualized lesson plans to meet each child's unique needs. I have cared for anwhere from 6 to 20+ children at a time.  My favorite part of working with children is getting to work one on one and really getting the chance to form a relationship with each child in my care.  Aside from working as a teacher, I have a Bachelor's degree in Japanese, and spend my free time studying Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. I also have a strong interest in music and dance, and although I may not have the knowledge in these two areas to teach a child, I would be happy to explore it with them.
