Summary

I consider myself organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. Reliable employee seeking Teacher Assistance position. Offering excellent communication and good judgment skills. Hardworking and passionate about what I am gifted to do. Most of all ready to help the team achieve the classroom/school goals. I had the pleasure to maintain a long term position in a Kindergarten classroom which I truly enjoyed for nine months, where I challenged them and had fun all at the same time. I was a lead daycare teacher for 22yrs. I have since maintained the running of the prior daycare I use to be employed for in the absence of the director. I just enjoy being apart of any childs growth and learning.
