Summary
I have worked with children for over 15 years. I have experience in daycares and in personal homes. I am very skilled at clear and open communication with parents about the well being of their children. I have also worked as a house manager which requires organizational skills. These experiences have helped me to have great customer service skills and also to be able to follow directions given. During Covid, I took on the role of helping instruct the children in my care from home and this helped me to be flexible and
Adaptable when there are sudden changes in the work space.
