Hello my name is Karen and I have been working for Arlington Public Schools as a Child Care Aide for 2 years. In the past two years I have worked with several Arlington families due to the connections I've made with students at my program. I have a strong passion for Elementary Education and every interaction I have with a child is led with love, patience and understanding. I prioritize the mental, physical and emotional well-being of all my students. I believe when you do this, you are able to provide the upmost support to a child. I pride myself in being bi-lingual and would love to share my diversity with the children I work with-- given the opportunity. In the past two years that I've worked in APS I have acquired over 60 hours of training. Some of these trainings included: how to deal with difficult behaviors, being aware Read more of differences in students-- whether it be learning disabilities or cultural--, creating fun activities for students, building relationships and being the best support system to children.
