A personal attribute of mine that I think will benefit this workplace is that I am very patient. As children grow, they learn how to socialize and communicate with others. At first, it may be difficult to understand children as they learn these developmental skills, but I am willing to calmly interact with the student in order to fully comprehend their perspective of the situation.

In addition to patience, I am very friendly. In fact, strangers often ask me for directions or other types of assistance while I am walking around town. With childcare educational programs, I want children to be able to have fun with a variety of activities, and I believe that if I present myself with an optimistic yet professional attitude, I can become more approachable to children if they require assistance.

An experience that may contribute to my qualifications is my employment with the City of Richmond as a substitute sports instructor, preschool worker, and day camp volunteer. During those times, I interacted with a variety of age groups including preschoolers, and I was able to support the children by planning and implementing games into the class. If situations arose where children misbehaved, I was able to digress the matter by calmly speaking to them about their actions. Resolving issues also allowed me to communicate well with other employees and meticulously carry out duties assigned to me.
