Summary

I have cared for and assisted children to help develop skills for pre-K. I have adapted activities to maintain their safety. I communicate with parents about developmental progress and daily events. I record and report incidents related to a child. I'm already an active volunteer at Westmore Elementary in my children's classes and am the room mom for Ms. Jesnon's Kindergarten class. I have also worked with Mrs. Mayo (Kindergarten), Mrs Robinson (First Grade), and Mrs. Jones (Fifth Grade) among other teachers. I have volunteered and assisted Kerilynn Cindrich with class parties and other school activities. I also speak fluent Spanish
