I am currently a college student at MxCC studying Early Childhood Education. I also work part time as a teacher's assistant at The Sherwood School, which is a private preschool for children ages 11mo-5yrs. I have 9+ years experience with both typical and special needs children. I love children, pets and I am very patient, kind and fun loving! I am hardworking, and my hours are flexible on weekends and some weeknights. I love the outdoors and hiking, as well as games, crafts, and movies. I have a younger brother with Autism Spectrum Disorder and a lot of my love for children, teaching, and learning has come from caring for and loving him. I have a lot of experience, and I am currently working on my degree to become a pre-school teacher.
