Hello my name is Melinda, I am 32 years old. I came across your ad and I am interested in the position. I have worked with children from the ages of 3 months to 10 years old. I am currently in school for early childhood education. I worked in many daycare settings including a Montessori school. I have my own toddler classroom from the ages of 18 months to 24 months. I have just received my Teacher Assistant Certification from CCRI and have an associate degree in human service and an early childhood certificate. My next educational goal is to take my paraprofessional exam. I have been babysitting since I was 16 years old and have been in the child care field for over 5 years.
