Summary

I am an early childhood teacher and passionate about my career.

I have 27 years of experience, working with children from 1.5 to 9 years old. I like every age I worked with, and loved my experience, however my favorite ages to work and enjoy, are three and four years old.

I have very good group management, I like to be creative and dynamic in class, respecting always every child feeling, words and rhythm.

I did training in expressive arts therapy, in TAE Peru, I learned english, at a bilingual school and had the opportunity to study some courses related to pedagogy in California USA.

I would like to have the opportunity to demonstrate, my learning skills, giving the best of myself as an early childhood education teacher and as a human being.

I also want to continue growing as a professional, and I consider this new experience to be a good opportunity and a challenge.
