Summary
In nature, I get along well with children and have a huge empathy for them. Children are my source of motivation as they bring joy to the world. I enjoy planning activities e.g., Glow in the Dark - Chalk & Paint activity, water balloons that provide positive experiences, care & security for their well-being. it is important to be a role model to the children in need and guide them with all my heart.
