My three amazing children—by far my greatest teachers!
This is the team I look to for advice on play, adventure, positivity, parenting...and most of all, kindness and love. Here's what they have to say:
My mom is the most exceptional person to work with because no matter how many things she has to do, she will always listen without judgment and take time to help you. She is the most hardworking person I know and she puts her all into everything. I am inspired to be like her when I am older and hope that people will also fall in love with her outstanding ability to advise and guide others.
My mom has had multiple influential jobs in her lifetime, but of all of the eye-opening careers she's had in the past, this is the job for her. She is happiest when she's helping others, because it's what she's meant to do! She is smart, courageous, kind, productive, and above all she is determined to achieve her goals, and I know she will help you achieve your goals too. I wish you the best of luck in Press Play on Life, Mommy!
I think you should work with my mom because she’s really helpful. She helps me with my homework. And she’s really caring, she really understands people and the way that they feel. And she’s very sensitive, caring like what I said, kind, funny, and she’s really focused, and she’s really, really good to work with. She gets me all my grades, straight As. So that’s why I think you should work with her!
