I have 24 years of experience working with children in groups and individually, providing a caring and calm environment. I have extensive knowledge of child pedagogy and psychology of the preschool period and know how to apply them in practice. I constantly improve my knowledge in order to quickly and efficiently help the comprehensive development of the child. I consider art to be one of the main sources of formation in preschool children to further successful learning and development of creative personality traits. I incorporate art, and specifically music, as much as possible in my interactions with children. My skills and experience include: - building relationships - supporting emotions - applying child psychology - applying child development techniques - creating good habits - modeling positive behaviors - providing enrichment activities through arts and crafts - teaching music and singing - employing effective communication skills - creating safe learning environments - demonstrating excellent dependability and responsibility - developing good parental interactions - tutoring, coaching, providing educational support - planning activities and events - thinking creatively and uniquely I am a Ukrainian newcomer desiring to use my extensive experience to provide a supportive, fun, and educational environment for young children. To support my goal I have been taking English classes full-time for one year, and I am now confident to enter the workforce. I am a mother of two teenage boys and my husband is still in Ukraine. We wish to settle here permanently and I am looking for full-time employment.

I have 7 months experience working as a certified Level 1 ECE in Canada, working with children from toddlers to Grade 6. I have 24 years of experience teaching music to preschool children in Ukraine.

My degrees have been equated as follows: - Master of Arts in Music and Education - Bachelor of Arts in Focus of Music, Education And Conducting Both programs contained courses in pedagogy and psychology of children.
