MY virtues are experience (I have a son in college; a daughter in high school and too many nephews and nieces to count!), kindness, warmth, friendliness, creativity, practicality, patience and really, many things Mary Poppins like. I do not float with an umbrella, but I am down to earth and good at what I do. I get along with children on their level. I have many years of teaching assisting work in classrooms of Pre K to grade 5. I know how to be with kids comfortably and even come up with boredom busters. I have references and I am the type of person I would wish for my own kids. You have to trust and like a person who is given the job of caring for precious children. All children are precious.
