Hi, my name is Damaris. As a mother I understand that the priority of a parent is to provide the best care for our children. I have been employed at an elementary school as a teacher assistant for about 8 years. Interacting with children ages 5-11 gives me the experience and knowledge to care and keep children safe. Activities I enjoy doing with children are playing boardgames, arts and crafts, puzzles, and indoor/outdoor activities. My hours/days are flexible. *CPR Certified*
