This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
Aside from helping out with my 9 nieces and nephews, I started working with kids professionally in 2008. I was an EFL teacher abroad for 2 years, after which I got my teaching license. In my career I have worked with children from 18 months old to high school, but I spent the majority teaching elementary school abroad, from first up to sixth grades. As I felt most fulfilled helping kids with social and emotional skills, I quit my role as teacher and head of department to enroll in grad school full time to become a mental health counselor in 2022. I currently substitute at a daycare with children 10 months - 5 years, and during the school year I am a middle school student mentor with Communities in Schools. I'd describe my personality as kind, firm, and easygoing. In my spare time, I like to cook, embroider, be in nature, and listen/watch/read stories both fiction and nonfiction.
