Summary
I've been a Preschool Teacher for over two years now. I have worked at a few locations over the years. Most recently I worked for Bright Horizons in Norwell for two years. I have also worked in grocery and retail. During my time in retail, I dealt with time management, customer service, correctly shopping and fulfilling peoples grocery orders, as well as correctly cashing people and their items out on the register. As a preschool teacher, I have grown immensely, from excellent parent partnerships to implementing age appropriate curriculum and adhering to child safety guidelines. I have also completed daily observations and monthly assessments. I have excellent teamwork skills, and am always willing to learn new things.
