Summary
Over the last eight years I have successfully ran a daycare for children of various ages. Being an organized and dependable person makes me a great candidate for an Aide position. I am successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude and am willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. Being hardworking and diligent, I believe can be an asset to any teacher or coworker. I am eager to learn and would love to start a career at my alma mater.
