A little bit about me

I am a fun loving person who tries to make the best out of every situation. I’ve worked with kids several times (unpaid) and for the most part I have a general idea on how kids, even special needs kids think. I know how to regulate myself and others when needed, and I find working with kids to be really rewarding. I am not fluent, but can also hold a simple conversation in ASL which I find many special needs kids are privy to. I am creative and can come up with solutions quickly and effectively. I consider myself a problem solver and I always do my best to find solutions while keeping everyone in mind.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bailey Mercer and I am a child care professional at the only Montessori school in Springfield Missouri. I began my child care journey, my sophomore year of high school through a church based musical theater summer camp in Lewisville, Texas which I worked at every summer until college. Now, I am an afterschool care provider, as well as occasionally an assistant teacher in the classroom. I have been trained on the pillars of Montessori education, and have received my CPR and first aid certifications. I am easily comfortable caring for as many as eight children at one time.

Outside of childcare, I am a sophomore BFA musical theatre major at one of the top 20 schools in the country. My dream is to move to New York and perform, while supporting myself financially as a childcare professional.

If your child has a passion for creativity, loves to move, is interested in dancing, music, piano, singing, or just loves to have fun, I might be a great fit for your family!
