Camille Childress
@camillechildress
Dedicated paraprofessional and educator focused on student support and classroom assistance.
What I'm looking for
I am a reliable paraprofessional with extensive experience supporting students from early childhood through high school, including special needs and one-on-one interventions. I combine classroom assistance, data entry, and strong communication skills with a calm, detail-oriented approach to student care and instructional support.
My background also includes quality-control and factory roles, library support with Microsoft Word and Excel, and six years as a cake decorator managing customer orders and inventory. I hold an Associate of Applied Sciences from Le Cordon Bleu and ISBE Paraprofessional and Food Manager certifications, and I consistently prioritize student well-being, organization, and teamwork.
