A little bit about me

I recently moved to Illinois from Pennsylvania. Before I moved, I was working at Magic Cottage Preschool as a pre-kindergarten teacher assistant. I am skilled at managing classroom, as well as homes. My other past work experiences include internships at a public school with certified teachers in a first and second grade classroom. I have babysat, live in nanny and did tutoring when I was a teenager. I love spending my days with children and be part of their growth. I am excellent at minimizing misbehaviors and encouraging healthy behaviors through positive reinforcement. I encourage children to learn and improve in every aspect through productive play and interactive activities such as arts, crafts, sensory play, puzzles, games, singing, dancing, playing with balls, fun projects, etc.

A little bit about me

I'd describe my personality as bubbly, creative, and warm

I like working with kids because it's so entertaining and fun to see their personalities, and it feels so good to see that you're making an impact on them

I'm looking for a job that has a close environment, prioritizes the health and happiness of the child, and clear communication and understanding

I started working with kids when I was nine after getting Red Cross certified for babysitting. I briefly worked at an after school care center, and I've worked at a summer camp for the past two years (primarily kids around age 6). I have a younger brother so I learned about developmental stages in young children growing up

In my spare time, I like to do art, learn about animals (especially sharks), learn about psychology, both in adults and children

One thing you should know about me is that I'm looking into a career as an elementary art teacher

My skills include de-escalation, finding screen-less activities, and patience
