Summary
I am a dedicated and enthusiastic early childhood educator, always with a positive attitude and warming presence. I am also highly motivated to learn, grow and excel. I believe that team work, clear communication and collaboration are key to a healthy work environment. My mission is to help each child develop their love of learning and curiosity to explore, as well as a sense of autonomy where they gain self-confidence and empathy. My focus is on the "whole child", including each child's social, language, cognitive, emotional and physical development. I'm seeking a full time position in a school where Waldorf methods are valued.
