EXPERIENCE
Substitute Teacher, Aberdeen School Districts, October 2020-Present
Aberdeen, SD
As a substitute teacher I have had the opportunity to work with students ages preschool to 8th grade.
This has allowed me to gain communication skills, hands on experience in teaching lessons and
classroom management, leadership skills, and working with other education providers. I have worked
in many different school districts with different teachers, administrators, and faculty members.
Nanny, January 2014-Current
Tulare, SD/Aberdeen, SD
I was to care for, entertain, feed, and bathe the children. I would take them to the pool, the park,
sporting events, and others. Nannying has allowed me the opportunity to be around kids my whole life
and it has helped me gain responsibility and how to communicate with parents and children.
Teacher aide, Youth Developmental Center (YDC), November 2019-Current
Aberdeen, SD
I was to care for children, serve them food, give them naps, and entertain them. I was also to interact
with parents and take kids swimming. This job has allowed me to gain experience in a preschool room,
work on classroom management skills, and experience talking to parents about events going on within
the classroom.
