Summary

I am an outgoing, ambitious, and driven individual who loves to put 100% into whatever I do. I love working in team environments and learning from others. I take pride in being a respectful and caring individual to everyone around me.

I am a nurturing Childcare Educator experienced in creating unique recreational lessons and activities for youth ages 0 through 5, supporting personal growth and development and teaching valuable social lessons. I have established fair disciplinary protocols to keep student behaviour respectful and within the parameters of acceptable classroom conduct. I have facilitated lessons on teamwork, compassion and mutual respect with engaging materials and creativity.
