A little bit about me
As a former daycare teacher, I have a deep love for working with children and helping them grow. My experience has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a positive environment skills I know will help me succeed in Year Up United. As I prepare to welcome my own child, I’m even more motivated to build a strong, stable career that will allow me to provide for my family and be a role model for them.
