Hi My name is Carrie Giesler and I have a teaching certification in addition to a strong background in child care and youth development. Over the past 25 years, I have molded my career and dedication to fostering the growth and well-being of children from Birth to 16 years of age. I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to your family unit. In my current role at Carole Robertson Learning Center, I serve as the Lead OST Mentor, Instructor, and Early Child Lead Assistant. Here, I have honed my skills in lesson planning, behavioral management, and social-emotional learning. I have successfully led instructional programs for children aged 6-8, organized community service projects, and provided early childhood intervention for toddlers. My ability to build strong relationships with families and create enriching environments for children has been a cornerstone of my career.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Carrie for two years, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most dedicated and talented child care professionals I have ever met. Her passion for her work is evident in everything she does. Carrie has a remarkable ability to connect with children on a personal level, creating a warm and welcoming environment for them to learn and grow. Her creative approach to teaching, particularly through her social emotional art lessons, is truly inspiring. She has a unique gift for making complex concepts accessible and engaging for young minds. I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact that Carrie has on the children in her care. Her dedication to her work, combined with her empathy, artistic skills, and unwavering commitment to going above and beyond, make her an invaluable asset to any child care program. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any child care position.
