Since I was nine years old, I knew I had a
calling to work with children. I have worked with children as long as I can remember. As a side
job, I have always babysat. I became a “mothers helper” at the age of nine. I
worked for nothing, just to see what it was like to have siblings. After that I
began working for multiple families which led me to become a nanny in 2007.
I started out my college education
in business. I obtained a small business management degree, and then went into
real estate. From there I started my own company, as mentioned above. These
careers did not suit me. I should have listened to my mom, we say that now, and
studied Education earlier in my schooling.
My mom is my mentor when it comes to
teaching Special Education. She has been a ESE teacher for over 40 years. She
has the kindness and patience to work with extreme disabilities ranging from
physical handicap to severely mentally challenged students.
By watching her, I became very
interested in teaching moderate/profound ESE. Following in my mother’s
footsteps, I plan to work with these students. I thrive off challenges and love
to see the light in a child’s eye when they learn.
I had the privilege of
working with some children who attended the Able Academy of Naples. (A school
for special needs) This is where my love for special needs blossomed, and why I
am here today! For fun, I have fund raised with these students, helping them
meet financial goals to better the classroom in which they learn.
I am patient. I am kind. I do not give up. Children are the light
of my life, and this is why I am going to be the best teacher I can possibly
be. Working with ESE students is a privilege to me and I am extremely excited.
