Summary
I am a highly enthusiastic, hardworking and reliable 23-year-old with great communication and interpersonal skills. I am very motivated and exited to work and enjoy engaging with new families, educators and children on a day-to-day basis.
I'm looking forward to the opportunity to continue my learning and further my skills and knowledge within your organization while creating a positive and supportive space that makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
I am a proactive and caring educator with over 7 years of experience in the childcare field, combined with communication strengths and good observational skills.
