Melissa, sitter in South Slocan

During my work experience as a teacher’s assistant in a kindergarten class, I assisted the teacher in setting up activities, reading to the children, supervision of the children, and handing out healthy school lunches. This experience allowed for me to gain some of the skills necessary in caring for children. It also allowed for me to discover my passion for teaching and childcare.

I love children, and one of my favorite parts about caring for them, is getting to see them grow, and learn new things each day. Knowing that I made a difference in the child and parent’s life is an invaluable experience for me.
