Allie Watson
Westville
Summary
My name is Allie Watson and I have been working alongside children for quite some time now. I have experience working in daycare, interning in the school system, as well as currently working as a teacher for Early Head Start in Westville. I have always loved working in an environment around children and building relationships that will positively impact them. In addition, I also worked as a receptionist at a hair salon for two years. My experience includes answering phones, making appointments, communicating with clients and staff, handling transactions, and filing paperwork. My goal is to be working along side children in a different setting other than a classroom. It is important to me that wherever I am, I am setting a good example for the children and always keeping their best interest in mind! I hope you take the time to consider me as a candidate.
