Summary
As a stay at home mom for the last 5 years and Military Spouse for the last 10, I am now ready to return to the workplace in a part-time role.
My role in a busy home has involved everything i will need to do this job and excel at it. I have many years of experience with children of all ages, including typical and atypical. This job opportunity is very important to me as I am a very big advocate for mental health, as I myself have suffered from postpartum depression with all 3 of my children. Which has given me a desire to pursue a degree focused in mental health. Not only would this be rewarding for me, but I hope that I can be a role model to those I come in contact with and hope that they can feel safe with me along the way, as we navigate their journey together,
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting and finding out more during my interview. I am flexible in many ways and hope to explore further.
