Hello! My name is Brooke and I am a 18 year old student currently at DMACC. I have previous experience working with children at daycares for a little over a year being an assistant and occasionally main teacher. Most of my experience comes from working with 1-2 year olds but I also had my fair share of time with infants and older kids. I am graduating this year with my AA in the interest of psychology to further my education in being a clinical psychologist!
