Summary
I am a Home-school mother of four, ranging in the ages of 23-12. I have always been heavily involved at my church working with children in various capacities, from junior church, Sunday School Teacher and nursery worker. I have also worked at Vision Way Christian School in the role of Music Teacher and Teachers Aide. In these roles I worked one on one with the students. I also had to be flexible in my position and help where there was a need. With my other jobs, I enjoyed being able to interact with the patrons and build relationships.
I believe I am a highly-motivated employee with a desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.
