I believe that I am the perfect candidate for this position because I have more than 30 years of experience working as a certified schoolteacher in elementary, middle, and high school. I have taught both gifted and talented students as well as students with disabilities and have enjoyed every moment. I am also a dyslexia interventionist and a reading tutor. Furthermore, I am a former 13-year foster parent and have housed more than 50 kids during that timeframe of my service, with different ethnicities and from various cultural backgrounds. Also, as a teenager, I worked in a daycare center caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I am CPR and First Aid Certified, have a crystal-clear drivers record, have a totally clear local and national criminal history, and have taken tons of classes in childcare throughout my career. My skills include ensuring the safety of kids, have good listening skills, Read more good speaking skills, and I am a great cook! I also have an artistic side, where I write children's books and create music. Children say that I am the best teacher they ever had! As far as safety is concerned, I have good judgment, so I respond to emergencies or difficult situations. With the experience that I've gained and the wealth of knowledge I have acquired over the years, I feel that I would be an asset to families who are seeking quality care for their children.
