Summary
As a friendly and energetic Early Childhood Teacher with 18 years of experience, I am deeply motivated to support children in developing their social, academic, and creative abilities to enhance their well-being and progress. I pride myself on creating a safe and nurturing learning environment where students feel encouraged to take risks and explore their potential, thanks to my positive behavior management strategies. My approachable and caring nature, combined with strong listening skills, enables me to connect effectively with my students and meet their individual needs. I have substantial experience working with children from low socio-economic backgrounds and those facing challenges such as ADHD, Autism, trauma, anxiety, and other disabilities. My personal and professional experiences have equipped me with the skills to accommodate diverse needs and help students excel. I am seeking a new challenge as I look to expand my horizons and apply my expertise in a new setting, continuing to make a meaningful impact on children’s lives.
