About Alexa

Experience: 6 yrs

Since 2008, when I started working professionally, I have been working with children and youth. In 2008, I did in-home individual therapy for children (ages 6 - 9) with Autism. Also, during this time (2008 to 2009), I worked in a local church's child care center with children 6 months to 10 years old. In 2009 - 2010, I worked as an AmeriCorps volunteer, working with elementary school children. I worked with 5th and 6th graders as a mentor and tutor from September 2009 to June 2010. During the summer of 2010, I organized and implemented a summer camp for children entering kindergarten, specifically working on skills to prepare them for this transition. From 2010 to 2011, I continued working with elementary aged children with an after school program. From 2011 to 2014, I worked for an Early Head Start program with children from 0 to 3. This professional experience again gave direct experience with a child care setting, but from it, I have gained a thorough understanding of best practices for child development and child health and safety. I am currently continuing my education for my Master's in Occupational Therapy, where I am learning the importance of recognizing individual skills and interests and how to incorporate these observations into learning and development.

I strongly recommend my former colleague, Alexa, for employment. I have had the pleasure of working alongside her for almost four years, where she had been entrusted with a great deal of responsibility. I have had the opportunity to observe Alexa's professional skills as well as interpersonal style. She is consistently pleasant, and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. Regardless of deadlines or other pressure, Alexa always delivers. Her superior organizational skills make her the consummate multi-tasker. While I surely miss seeing Alexa around the office, she has earned the opportunity to further her career. Sincerely, Jessica S. Early Childhood Development Coordinator
