Victoria Galeana (she/her/Ella) Assistant Teacher
​Hola soy Victoria y soy de México. Mi experiencia trabajando con niños empezó cuando nació mi hija en 2002, decidí trabajar desde casa cuidando niños y descubrí una vocación extraordinaria. Trabajar con niños es conocer al ser humano en el momento más auténtico de su vida. Ellos todo lo hacen desde su corazón. Es un privilegio poder compartir con la maestra Emily; descubrí la parte pedagógica de interactuar con los niños. Mi trabajo es cuidar y proteger el tesoro de las familias.  Los niños son el futuro de nuestro planeta y me siento muy afortunada.
