I love a child’s gentle heart, honesty, curiosity, smile, and laughter. I love how a child has the ability to persuade you to discover and cherish the simplicity in life.

I enjoy helping children believe in themselves, in their abilities, and in their potential, as well as helping them expand their creativity and imagination. I enjoy helping children look for the positive side of a situation, and helping them find a solution to a problem where they didn’t think they could.

I believe children learn by doing and by real experiences. They learn by observing what happens when they interact with materials and people, constantly expanding and reorganizing their knowledge base.

I think it is important to help children learn to stand up for themselves, take responsibility for their actions, make decisions on their own, and learn from their mistakes. I also believe in having respect for children as individuals as well as their developmental age level.

Through teaching, I have learned the importance of making a good first impression, and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. I have learned how important it is to be flexible, and to have an easygoing, upbeat, pleasant attitude.

Through teaching, I have learned the merit of making people feel valued and respected. How advantageous it is, to communicate with patience and empathy, and to listen to people’s needs, concerns, and situation. How advantageous it is, to have effective communication skills.

Through teaching, I have learned the significance of building a positive rapport with people. How beneficial it is, to look for peaceful resolutions to conflicts, and to be able to improvise, be inventive, and keep calm under pressure. How beneficial it is, to be a team player.

Through teaching, I have learned leadership skills. How essential it is, to have written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, and to be organized and give careful attention to details. How essential it is, to be able to work on multiple projects simultaneously. As well as, to be able to analyze a situation and information, in order to look for new ways to improve, grow, meet, and surpass objectives and goals.

I am easygoing with a lighthearted, fun personality. I have a warm, down-to-earth, friendly charm about me that’s undeniable. I have a smile that puts people at ease. I am a people person, who has the confidence to carry on a conversation with anyone I meet. Meeting new people is something I excel in, and is one of my strengths.

I am confident I will be an asset to any family. I look forward to meeting you and discussing this position further. Thank you for your time and consideration.
