My name is Ray . I have a goal to contribute my knowledge and experiences to inspire children to pursue anything that they put their minds to. I am a compassionate, enthusiastic, and a creative leader that wants to serve youth and parents to make a memorable experience.
I have a strong background in customer service with parents and children aged 18 months-14yrs. I currently work as an Kindergarten R. E. C. E with the Y. M. C. A. I have worked for the Boys and Girls Club of Durham for 4 years, and I have also worked with the City of Oshawa for over 5 years in their professional recreational field as a Visual Arts Instructor. I also. work for Autism Homebase Durham as well.
I hope to play an active role in the future of your family. I look forward to speaking with you personally to discuss your specific needs and my ability to meet and exceed them.
Sincerely,
Ray
