Hello! My name is Karla, and two years ago, I moved to Kailua-Kona with the intent to work at Alakaii Academy, a preschool. This was my first experience working with children, and I am very grateful to Mrs. Pablo for giving me the opportunity to work there with just my caregiver qualification. During my time at Alakaii Academy, I learned more than I had expected. I gained a better understanding of child development and taught the little ones how to socialize for the first time. I have the patience to listen to them and help them make the best choices, such as understanding the importance of cleaning up after play and potty training. In my toddler classroom, I also worked with children preparing for kindergarten, assisting the teacher in communicating with them and maintaining a quiet environment so they could focus on listening. At that age, the kids were learning Read more to read and write their names, so I learned various techniques and used paperworks to help them start writing, incorporating 20-minute sessions of dancing or yoga. I really enjoyed this job; however, the school was forced to close due to building damage. Last year, I visited my family in Mexico and spent most of my time there. After a year, I decided to relocate to San Francisco because I believe I need to learn and sharpen my skills. I see many opportunities to develop my career at the next level and I am eager to learn more about storytelling and yoga for kids. I hope to find opportunities to expand my knowledge and continue helping families. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Gracias!
