About Christa

I'd describe my personality as loving, patient, and supportive. I like working with kids because they tap into my creative nature. I'm looking for a job that allows me to support parents as children reach new milestones. I started working with kids during high school and college at a local childcare center. Upon graduation from college, I worked as a public school teacher for 21 years with high school, middle school, and elementary school. Upon leaving the teaching field, I began working with individual families and churches through a childcare agency for the last two years. In my spare time, I like to work in my flower beds and with indoor plants. One thing you should know about me is that I am empathetic to children's feelings and needs. My skills include building structure and routine, being patient with individual children's needs, and providing creative and differentiated play opportunities.
