What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can teach and care for children, use my classroom and caregiving skills daily, and keep learning new programs that help me support families with confidence.

I love to learn and dedicate time to pick up the programs and skills needed to fulfill a job role. I’ve spent years providing daily care and education, from early childhood through elementary-age support, with a steady focus on emotional, educational, and physical needs.

As an infant and toddler teacher, I cared for up to six to eight children at a time, managing feeding, diapering, nap routines, and age-appropriate play and learning indoors and outdoors. I also moved between room duties as children advanced, supporting smooth transitions and individualized needs.

In an elementary setting, I taught second grade by following district curriculum, modifying lessons based on student needs, and creating positive behavior plans. I also bring hands-on caregiving experience from in-home roles for aging/disabled clients, which strengthens my patience, reliability, and attention to safety.
