I have a lot of experience when working with kids:) This is my second year of play school. I also work in children entertainment (Gattitown) as a party host for a little over a year.

I have taught dance to kids going on 5 years now, and this past summer, I worked as a camp counselor for kids ranging from 2-5. During fall and winter break, I will also be working at a different preschool. I also go volunteer at Cassidy Elementary in special education classes.

 In the future, I want to go to college and major in elementary education, and minor in special education. Education is something I’ve wanted to do my whole life, and it’s something I’m passionate about.

I’m most looking forward to making an impact in children’s lives while also having fun and getting them ready for kindergarten!
