I have been looking after children since I was 10 years old. My 2 younger sisters, my niece as well as many of my younger cousins. I am a recent graduate from Montclair State University with a major in family and child studies concentration in family services. I also have a minor in African American studies. As far as my work experience I volunteered at a local daycare at the age of 12 and I worked there until I graduated high school. While in college I volunteered a great deal with the children tours on campus. I also volunteered at our annual special friends day, where when spend the day and have fun with children with special needs. I have also volunteered as a Street Squash academic tutor at Montclair Park Street YMCA. Currently I am an after school group leader at the Opportunity Charter School in Harlem. They I Read more lead various activities with students ages 9-12. Previously, I worked as an after care counselor for the Park Street YMCA at Charles Bullock Elementary and Nishuane Elementary school in Montclair. There I led various activites like arts and crafts, zumba, science, and readin activities. Over the summer I'll be working at the YMCA New Discoveries summer camp as the nature coordinator. I really love working and being around children. They are so full of life and they have so much to offer the world. there is no greater feeling in the world knowing that a child looks up to you and admires you. I love being a role model for them

I had a very nice first meeting with Sophia and then we emailed about her coming to meet my children. At first she responded and then when I emailed her to confirm a specific day and time she NEVER responded back. Very disappointing and not considerate of my time.
