Over the years I have taken classes on how to work with children with different abilities. As well as working with children, like when I would nanny or when I worked at kids first swim school. I worked with a range of children with a range of abilities. They are some of my favorite children to work and build a bond with.
I'd describe my personality as caring, effervescent, and patient! I like working with kids because I have a family full of children and I am the oldest, so it is in my nature to be looking after them! The feeling I get after helping a child is rewarding and incomparable to any other! I started working with kids when I was a...
