Summary
Graduated from WMHS in 2024 with a strong passion for working with children. I have been dedicated to childcare since I was 15, starting at my church and later working as a summer camp teacher’s assistant at my school. Since then, I have continued to gain experience in childcare, fostering positive relationships and helping children grow in confidence and creativity. I love getting to know each child and supporting their development. My goal is to further my education in Early Childhood Education and continue making a meaningful impact in children's lives.
