I am a creative, energetic, and resourceful child care provider seeking part-time work as I finish my college career. I have many years of experience caring for children of all ages and abilities and I take pride in creating a safe, clean, and fun space for children to play and learn. I have also spent 15 years guiding my sister through her adventures as an energetic girl with Down syndrome, I have worked in a school setting as an assistant teacher for children with Traumatic Brain Injuries and autism. I am a certified yoga instructor with experience in teaching children and teenagers. I currently attend Bridgewater State University where I am earning a Bachelor of Science with a focus on adaptive motor skills and modified physical education. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, creativity, and structural independence.
