A note from the lead: What I would like in an assistant is someone who doesn’t crumble under chaos/stress, someone who takes initiative, who’s patient with helping a child whose having a difficult time understanding activities we’re doing. Someone who’s good at understanding a child when they’re having a difficult time throughout the day and meeting their needs.
