What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to continue supporting children's development and engaging with families in a meaningful way.

I am an experienced early childhood educator with a passion for fostering a nurturing and inclusive learning environment. Currently, I serve as a Home Visitor at Genesee Education Consultant Services, where I recruit families and build community relationships to enhance child development knowledge. My role involves partnering with local organizations to implement interactive family learning activities that support children's growth.

Previously, I worked as a Lead Head Start Teacher, where I provided a safe and engaging environment for children, focusing on their educational and recreational activities. My experience also includes roles as an Associate Teacher and Classroom Aide, where I facilitated parent-teacher communication and supported students with special needs. I am committed to creating a positive impact in the lives of young learners and their families.
