Skills Summary
I have been working with kids since I was in middle school which is nearly half my life. I am patient, organized and
authoritative. I understand the purpose of discipline and apply it in the most loving way when working with kids. A
child’s childhood is one of the most important things and I want to be a positive influence in that development. I work
my absolute hardest to make children feel safe, important, smart and loved.
