A little about me.
I love working with children. I am a dedicated employee. I pride myself as always wiling to come early or stay late. I am known for always being early, I actually would go in around 5:30-5:45 to prep my day not clocking in til 6:30.
I have maintained relationships with parents and their children for many years. I also have stayed in contact with most of my former directors as well as co teachers. I have built great relationships with them.
