I am a paraprofessional at a school working with preschool children with special needs. I have been working with kids since my little sister was born. I love working with kids and helping them learn and grow. I was 8 when my sister was born and when my dad was away at work I helped my mom watch her. When my mom started a daycare, I would always go over after school and help. My first job was working with kids at a summer camp. Every job since has been with kids. I have a great joy working with kids. I love helping them express who they are and doing things they like. I can also be stern with kids, in an appropriate way, when necessary. I have experience with every kind of kid, from nonverbal to fully verbal. I know how to work with the most chaotic kids and Read more some of the easiest.
