Summary

I’m a childcare professional with over four years of experience working with children from pre-k through fourth grade in both classroom and summer camp settings. I’ve worked in multiple centers, which means I’ve learned to adapt quickly to different routines, teaching styles, and group dynamics. My day-to-day work is a mix of keeping children safe, engaged, and included. I’m confident managing a room full of different personalities and energy levels, and I know when to bring the structure and when to let children explore. Parents know they can count on me for honest, helpful updates about their child, and coworkers trust me to step in and help wherever it’s needed.
