Summary
In the 3 years I have been in childcare I have grown in my passion for teaching. I am a mom of 4 finishing my teachers certification 12/24 and I am looking for my next steps in teaching. I’m ready to learn more and make a difference in children’s life. I’m quick to learn and have a deep understanding for child development and a passion for education. Thank you.
