A little bit about me

Hi! I am a patient and highly experienced childcare professional and educator with a strong background in supporting children's unique behavioral and academic needs.

From 2021 to 2023, I served as a classroom instructional aide, working one-on-one with special needs children. In this role, I specialized in managing behaviors, implementing modifications, and tracking progress through detailed data collection. I continued this exact hands-on work as a district paraeducator from 2023 to 2024.
In January 2024, I transitioned into a new position as a school district interpreter, facilitating communication during IEP and school meetings. When I am not in conferences, I continue to work directly with students ranging from kindergarten through 6th grade.

My extensive background in the school district has given me a deep understanding of child development and positive reinforcement. I bring the professional experience, safety, and care needed to help your family thrive!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My relevant experience includes over three years of dedicated service within the school district, specializing in behavior modification, individual student support, and professional communication. From 2021 to 2023, I worked as an classroom instructional aide, providing vital one-on-one support for special needs children. In this role, I focused on managing behaviors, implementing targeted behavioral modifications, and keeping precise daily data collection logs to track progress. I continued this exact hands-on work as a district paraeducator from 2023 to 2024, further refining my skills in positive reinforcement and classroom management. In January 2024, I transitioned into my current role as a school district interpreter, where I facilitate communication during IEP and school meetings. When not in meetings, I remain active with students from kindergarten through 6th grade, helping them succeed both academically and socially.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

When I am caring for children, I love engaging them in activities that are both fun and developmental. Drawing from my school background, I enjoy organizing structured arts and crafts projects that spark creativity, as well as interactive educational games and puzzle-solving that make learning engaging. I love staying active with outdoor play, sports, and neighborhood walks, ensuring kids get plenty of fresh air and exercise. For downtime, I enjoy reading books together, facilitating imaginative free-play, and helping with homework or learning activities tailored to their grade level. Whether we are building a creative project or playing outside, my goal is always to keep children happy, safe, and active.
