Hi! My name is Marcela, and I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) substitute teacher with a Bachelor's degree in Child Development. I have experience working as a paraprofessional in a Moderate/Severe special education setting and have cared for children of different ages, abilities, and backgrounds. I am patient, caring, dependable, and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, helping with homework, reading, outdoor play, and supporting daily routines. As an educator, I understand the importance of positive guidance, communication, and meeting each child's individual needs. Families describe me as compassionate, trustworthy, and calm under pressure. I am currently seeking a temporary position and will be available through the summer before returning to school in August. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide quality care for your little ones!
