Hi Everyone my name is Josemari but I preferred to be called JM or Mr.JM . I have been working with different age groups for 3 years. I worked at the Skokie park District as a camp counselor and program leader , that was a fun experience working with K - 5th grade kids . I now work as an assistant teacher at the Bareberuex School of Evanston, mainly assisting the junior-K teachers with activities in the afternoon two days a week . I am also in my 2nd year of community college finishing up my early childhood certificate. In my free time I like to walk around my local park and host different events in pokemon go for my local community. Lastly I have my CPR and first aid completed
