A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a 21-year-old Early Childhood Education student who loves working with children. I currently work at a child care center and I’m looking for new opportunities to grow. I’m a patient, kind, responsible, and organized person. I enjoy cooking in my free time. I really love early childhood because it’s a special stage where children begin to learn and explore, and I enjoy being part of their learning and helping them grow with positive values.

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Emma! I am a 20 year old women who is going to school for nursing. I hope to one day work in a pediatric unit and want to gain experience working with children asap! I do not have experience with caring for children other than siblings. However, I have more than 1 year of experience working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in long term and rehabilitative care facilities. This has given me valuable insight into working with humans that are 100% dependent, keeping personal items cleaned and organized, and have great experience with keeping up on mine and others hygiene! Lastly, I also love all animals (I grew up on multiple ranches) and don’t mind cleaning up and providing an extra hand around the house if needed!
