Friendly and hardworking professional with preschool education experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and friendly professional with extensive experience in preschool education, customer service, and hospitality. My journey began in Peru and continued in Spain, where I developed a strong foundation in language development and educational support. I have worked in various educational settings, including as a substitute preschool teacher and assistant, where I utilized diverse teaching methods to foster language skills in multilingual environments.
In addition to my educational background, I have a rich history in the hospitality sector, where I honed my customer service skills. My roles ranged from waitress to food runner in fast-paced restaurant environments, allowing me to engage with diverse clientele while ensuring excellent service. I am passionate about creating positive experiences for children and customers alike, and I thrive in collaborative settings that promote learning and growth.
