Summary
I have basically been working with kids my whole life! I just left my job as an assistant teacher at Temple Shalom Early Learning Center where, for the past 2 1/2 years, I've helped to coordinate and provide a fun, challenging and, creative environment for young kids to learn, explore, and develop in. I always find it so interesting how much I learn from kids and how much I learn about them and honestly just find so much joy in being around them it always brightens my day. So I would love to be considered for this opportunity to work with them in an environment I can help to keep safe and healthy for children where they can grow and develop in a community with their peers. I am often amazed at the things I learn from kids in just a short period of time. I am devoted to developing meaningful relationships with students, parents and guardians to foster growth and improvement and would be so grateful for a chance to help create an environment where I can observe, help to coordinate, and aide in their growth and development.
