I'd describe my personality as easy-going, cheerful, and friendly I like working with kids because everything is learning to them. It's fun and rewarding to be part of their journeys, and teach them the 'basics' to life I started working with kids when I was in my senior year of high school. I was unable to continue training, and transitioned from being a professional dancer, to a dance teacher. I've been working with kids ever since. In my spare time, I like to be in nature by taking hikes and going camping. I also enjoy various crafting projects, watching movies, and dance. One thing you should know about me is nothing surprises me anymore, and I am always ready to 'pivot' and keep going. My work as an RBT (Registered Behavior Therapist) allows me to be creative in finding what works for kids individually My skills include: Adapting activities to children's needs Building trust and encouraging positive behavior Creating fun, structured activities that build confidence
