A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Kialah (Key-a-la) Hill. I'm 21, I moved to Dubuque when I was about 15 lived here through middle school and high school. I moved away for a little after I graduated did some time in college, came back and was hired at my current job at Marita Theisen. We're a small free school connected to Steeple Square..with a head start program, so we start at 6 weeks and go up to 5 years. I'm currently like the buildings floater, so I go with which ever age group needs me the most for the day. I've grown to love my job and working with children very much. Which is what brings me here, in a couple months here we'll be on summer break so I'm just trying to pick up a little full time or extra part time work.
