Summary
I have extensive knowledge in childcare, it is a job that I take very seriously and brings me so much joy. To be able to spend time with children is a wonderful feeling and brings me back to being a kid again, providing a sense of freedom and at the same time ultimate responsibility. I'm always willing to do whatever it takes to provide fun, laughter, and a time for learning for the kids I care for, and these goals have provided me with long-lasting skills and traits. I see myself as an energetic soul who strives for positivity. I'm understanding, creative, communicative and sometimes pretty funny.
