Summary
I have countless experiences with all children, from infancy to middle school. I graduated from Quincy High School with my Preschool Teaching Certificate after completing the Early Education and Care program throughout my sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. I am hardworking, attentive, and kind, and I have multitasking skills to make a working environment run smoothly and have the children feel as comfortable as possible in their place away from home.
