Summary

I have a long history of working with children of all ages. My 17 years of experience in the school district have given me many skills. I have learned how to work with children of all ages. I also am a mother of twins and find that has helped me with my work in the school district. I am a patient, kind, and engaging person. I love to teach kids with play dough, pictures, games, music, and art. I find that kids learn best in positive atmospheres.
