Recent reference

"I am the principal a large private school in Korea and have 20+ years of experience. Hanna worked for us in the capacity of English language teacher for 5- and 6-year-old children, and young elementary children. She was not with us for long, so I can only speak about her character and personality, and her behavior in the classroom. Based on what I observed, I believe Hanna is sensitive, gentle, sincere, honest, patient, thoughtful, and cares about children. The students were engaged and responded to her well and she was a good influence on them. It was also apparent that Hanna has some knowledge about children with respect to education, and how to interact with children and guide them in traditional and creative ways and enjoys being around children. I am not available by phone, but I am available by email. If you would like to get in touch with me as part of conducting a reference check, or the like, please send an email to judychoi316@gmail.com."

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Lou! I am 23 years old. I’m from Kentucky and moved here to San Diego with my husband and our dog in May 2023! My first job was a Camp Counselor when I was 16, in 2017, working with ages 6 years-18 years. I continued working there, completing my last summer in 2021. I loved the joy, laughter, and adventure that came with childcare. For the past year I’ve worked as a Preschool Teachers Aide (Ages 3-6) and assisted in the infant and toddler classrooms as well. I love the opportunity to be a role model and teacher while getting to have fun and cultivate joy! I love to sing, read, and follow the creative lead of the children in my care for crafts, games, or activities.
