Summary

Dedicated and compassionate professional with over 12 years of experience in nutrition, combined with hands-on childcare experience. For the past five years, I have been fully dedicated to raising and caring for my children, strengthening my skills in patience, organization, and child development.

Currently based in the United States for the past three years, I am seeking an opportunity as a Teacher Assistant or Daycare Assistant where I can support children’s daily routines, ensure their safety, and contribute to a positive learning environment.

While I am continuing to improve my English through ongoing classes, I bring strong communication skills in Spanish, a proactive attitude, and a deep commitment to the well-being and development of young children.
