About Grace
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have 10 years of experience as an educator and am seeking a career transition. I have my Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education with an extension to teach Biology through 12th grade. I have also been a day camp counselor for children ages 5 years old - 11 years old. I have experience with children and adults with special needs, whose disabilities have ranged from moderate to extreme both in the role of a child care provider as well as a Skills Educator. Additionally, I have experience with children and adults with special needs through a volunteer program in college. I love dogs and pets as well and am a hard worker who is willing and eager to work.

Moms and Dads, Grace worked for us part time for two and a half years. We have 3 young kids, and when she started, my older 2 were 3 and 4 and my 3rd was not born yet. She helped us through easy and hard times. She helped us with our older 2 while our 3rd was having multiple surgeries every 6 months. She is great with the kids, knows how to have boundaries, and knows how to discipline while also engaging and entertaining the kids. She often came to visit us after she took a full time job after college, just to hang out. She definitely became part of the family. She is also extremely reliable! We were sad to see her move to the DC area. Feel free to get my number from Grace to find out more. Any family is lucky to have her. She is great with boys and girls!
