Teacher expertise and credentials
I taught kindergarten for 3 years. I currently teach third grade. I worked in day care centers since I was 18 years old. I love teaching children! My love for teaching has grown as a parent myself. I love to get creative and involve the interests of my kid’s into what how they learn.Reviews
