Summary

I’ve been a daycare teacher for the past ten years. I am cross trained in all ages, but enjoy working with the younger three to older two year olds. I’ve worked with parents and potty trained close to a thousand children. I work well under pressure and am a natural leader. In addition to lead teacher, I've taken on many other roles which include: cook, bus driver, and office assistant.
