A BIT ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Aaron Bercasio (Infant Care Aide). I was born and raised in San Diego. I would guess many of you are wondering how I end up as an Early childhood educator. There is one person who is very influential in your life who ultimately led you to where you are today as a professional. My mother was the one who showed me, without me even realizing it, what it took to be a successful educator. She showed me what it meant to care deeply, unconditionally, and yet uniquely. I learned the importance of making commitments, following through on them, always giving my best effort, and finding balance in my life. Finally, while this was something I didn’t realize I’d learned until I’d reached adulthood, she showed me what it meant to give all of yourself to help others. My mother has been an educator since the day I was born (and probably before that!) and I have been one of the fortunate recipients of her teachings. As a son of the founder of Rising Star Preschool, I grew up spending most of my time in the preschool. My mom influenced and inspired me in so many ways, both in life and my career. Currently I am pursuing my degree in business to further hone my leadership skills, team management and communication skills which are both important qualities of successful leadership.
