A little bit about me
I am currently a preschool teacher for ages 2-3. I have worked with ages 2 months-13 years old. I’ve been a teacher/ nanny for 8 years. I love working with children, I believe it is my true calling. I love being able to help them grow and expand their learning while building a bond with both the children and families. I believe in engaging with a child and not just providing supervision. It is important to be more than physically present when it comes to children. I am excited to find my next journey in child care!
