Why They Want to Substitute Teach

I’ve always felt comfortable in a school environment. Both of my parents are teachers, and I grew up attending Catholic school, so education has always been a big part of my life. After working as an aftercare counselor at St. Paul’s for almost four years, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy working with students. I love building relationships with kids, helping them when they need it, and being someone they feel comfortable around. Substitute teaching feels like a great opportunity to continue doing something I enjoy while gaining more experience in the classroom.

About Them

I’m very family oriented and spend a lot of my free time with my family and friends. I love reading, going to the beach, traveling, and trying new things. I’m pretty outgoing and enjoy meeting new people, but I’m also just as happy staying in with a good book. I’m a patient and understanding person, and I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and being someone they can feel comfortable around

Experience with Children

I worked as an aftercare counselor at St. Paul’s in Jacksonville Beach for almost four years, where I supervised children, helped with homework and activities, managed different behaviors and conflicts, and made sure they were in a safe and positive environment. I also worked as an Activities Director at The Language Academy, where I planned activities and supervised groups of students. Between these positions, I’ve become very comfortable working with different ages, managing groups of children, and adapting to different needs. I also have a degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Welfare, which has given me a strong background in child development and behavior.
