Tell us about your team you. My team are a group of professional early educators. Most have worked at ECEC for a number of years and have experienced working in all the different age classrooms. Working with young children is not for the individual who likes to work at a desk or at the computer. They are moving throughout the classroom and playgrounds, sitting in short chairs or on the floor, getting glitter in their hair or paint on their pants, and enjoying supporting each child’s learning and development.
What’s the best part about working with children? That I get to do it every day and I get a full night’s sleep afterward. Each age group is so enjoyable to be around. Each child has such a unique personality and temperament. No day is monotonous. I enjoy noticing the changes in their development and a conversation with any age is never boring.
Describe your communication style in three words. Verbal, non-verbal and touch.
What do you like to do to relax? I like to spend time outdoors. Riding Zephyr (pictured with Danielle), a horse I’ve been given the opportunity to ride five days a week, is my primary means of relaxation lately.
You can have only three apps on your phone unrelated to your job. What are they?
Facebook: It keeps me connected to friends and family whom I don’t see or talk to often enough.
Weather: I’ve been a weather watcher for many years. I need to know the best time for a ride and whether I need to blanket the horse.
Yelp: I use it to find out business hours or to check out new places to explore.
You're walking out on a stage. What's your entrance song? Anything by Adam Ant. I’ve been a die-hard fan since the early '80s.
