Summary
I have over ten years of full-time childcare experience, including regular personal and professional development in the field. I have a few years of restaurant experience that allowed me to develop excellent people skills. I have always loved being friendly and helping people. While I have never worked in retail, I love organizing and have always loved shopping at Michael’s. It has been a little dream of mine to work there one day. I am keeping my job as a preschool teacher, so I am looking for part-time hours and am flexible with evenings and weekends. Thank you for your consideration.
