Jovan $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Jovan. Here's what you should know about me: I understand what it means to juggle multiple jobs, school and paternal responsibilities. I have experience with children ages 6wks to 18 yrs old. My previous education experience includes being a Paraprofessional/Ast. Teacher, RTI Lab Instructor (response to intervention), working with students that have 504 accommodations, Lead Infant &Toddler Preschool Teacher, and working with my own daughter prior to kindergarten. My most recent position was teaching 4th Grade ELA. In this role, I increased 4th grade Mastery LEAP scores by 6 percentage points. Other experience includes Supervisory, training development and management roles. This means, I'm a creative leader. I work well with kids because in all the seriousness and hustle and bustle, I never lost my imagination. I set standards and I use a holistic approach that will encourage your kids to be good people! All kids can learn and I challenge them to do so! Other things about me are: My name is Jovan and I'm a chocoholic! I love movies! My daughter and I have 80's movie nights. I love reading and learning new things. My friends don't Google, they Jovan! Lol. I'm a first generation college student and I love helping other first gens! I'm extremely close to my family and it's something I value. If selected for your position, I hope to be considered extended family!
