A little bit about me

With over 2 years of experience at a children's learning center, I've had the privilege of imparting Spanish as a second language to young minds. I've successfully led classes for groups of 3+ kids, demonstrating my ability to connect with and educate children effectively. My leadership extends to managing summer camps, where I adeptly handled mixed-age groups, showcasing my comfort in high-pressure situations. Beyond structured learning, I've embraced moments of mindfulness, engaging kids outdoors and fostering creativity. My passion for working with kids shines through diverse teaching roles and hands-on experiences.

A little bit about me

Hello! Nice to meet anyone reading this, I'm a 22 year old college student, made a decision to go back this year. I've worked at a daycare for some short time and as a caregiver. A little about myself is that I'm Somali, born and raised in San Diego, I like art's crafts, and getting to know people. There’s a lot of more about me but hopefully I get the chance to share it when an opportunity comes! Thank you and have a blessed day.
