I’m the second eldest to five children, so I was always the helping hand when it came to the kids. I’ve been around younger kids since I was 6 years old helping out my mother. I also have many nieces and nephews in which I helped raise and still help take care of. One of my first jobs was working in the nursery of my community church. I have much experience in babysitting for family and family friends. I also have some college credits in early childhood education. Some of my working experience regarding children, I’ve been a manager to several children clothing stores for several years now. I worked for Gymboree as a key holder for 3yrs and then transferred to crazy 8 as the assistant manager and held that position for several years. I’ve also held an assistant manager position at The Children’s Place. I’ve been in retail Read more for years, just want to grow with the skills and experience I’ve obtained through retail in a different setting. Currently, I am a Site Leader for the YMCA child care. I have a cleared background check through merit and official fingerprints in the Washington state system. Through the YMCA I have many hours of Star trainings and certifications in regards to children.
