[Taylor Sinclair]

Hi everyone,

I am currently looking for BI work. I am free most to all mornings. I am also looking for a lead role so if those come hand in hand that would be ideal.

I am trying to gain my hours for the school system for 2014.

I've been a BI about 2 years now, and so I am wanting to gain more experience with a lead role.

Before being a BI I was a lifeguard and gymnastics coach, so I've got a lot of experience with children in many different settings.

For more information about my background and new position

I can be reached at

taylor.suikersinclair@gmail.com

Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you.
