Work History

Floater

Children's University
Port Saint Lucie, Florida
10.2024 - Current

As a Floater at Children's University, I provide essential support to lead and assistant teachers in classrooms by assisting with daily and closing duties, including diaper changes, activity preparation, and guiding children in proper classroom procedures and behavior. I communicate regularly with teachers and parents to discuss children's progress and ensure a collaborative approach to their development. Outside the classroom, I maintain a safe and clean environment by sanitizing play areas, vacuuming carpets, and cleaning the kitchen space. Additionally, I assist with operational tasks such as laminating and printing materials for teachers, distributing snacks, collecting cereal, and managing laundry. My role requires flexibility and a proactive approach to support both educators and children effectively.
