What is your favorite part of working with children?
My favorite part about working with children is the learning experience for them as well as creating bonds that are everlasting. Throughout the years I can say I’ve developed numerous relationships with the children and it warms my heart whenever a current child in my classroom or previous child I’ve worked with gets excited to see me.
What is your favorite part of working at CACC?
My favorite part about working at CACC is getting to know the people I work with, especially in my classroom. I love being able to come to work and know that I can walk into my classroom and be comfortable around my co-teachers. We are able to laugh, have fun all while still getting the job done.
What is something valuable you’ve learned while working with the children and other teachers?
Something valuable I’ve learned while working with the children and other teachers is not to take on all the responsibility of care myself. I am still learning to lean on my teachers for support. When you lean on your support system in the classroom, things become less stressful and more efficient. From the children I learned what it truly means to have patience. I have also learned that I will forever be curious about the world, just like them.
