I am a former childcare worker and teacher. I worked at a privately owned children's school for 7 years. I would like to add a comment from one my students parent: "Gretchen is more than we could asked for...she is bright and caring and a passionate person who puts an incredible amount of effort and time to ensure the classroom is a warm, welcoming space for all of the children" Matt and Jamie Knott I also would like to add a recommendation from a former coworkers mine. "For the entire time I have known her, she has been an upstanding person. She has very respectful manner, is very kind and caring with the children, and has a very tender heart to listen and talking to them" Marcela Ferioli I working with children is a joy, I took great pleasure in being a teacher for for children of all ages. I Read more enjoyed creating art projects for them, that they could proudly bring home to their parents. Reading them stories and singing songs. We also played fun learning games that I made up for them. We did outdoor activities, so they could explore their surroundings and learn new things about nature. I also attended and completed a 20 Hour Childcare course as well a class about Blood Pathogens and a CPR and First Aid class. All provided and required by the State of Washington. I think working with children is a joy, because of their natural curiosity. Also being able to watch the big smile on their faces when they learn something new, or are able to accomplish a new skill or discover something about themselves that they didn't know before. That made everyday with them an exciting and a fun experience for me as well. I raised two wonderful sons. I also had a daycare in my home for three children, until my youngest went to his own preschool. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and your family.
