Summary
I'm a proactive and caring worker with 15+ years of experience, communication strengths, and good observational skills. I skillfully handle day-to-day activities while looking for opportunities to make a difference in our children's development and goals. I'm skilled at managing supplies, providing for children's needs and education, and monitoring safety concerns in the interests of children and team members. The goal is to seek and maintain a full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management, and problem-solving skills. The position has made me into an outgoing child caregiver with experience caring for children while providing encouragement and kindness with expertise in guiding playtime, leading exercise activities, and teaching rules and being able to be a creative planner with a gift for keeping children engaged long-term with fun activities.
