Hello my name is Christopher and I grew up in a household of 7 children. I helped with the care of my youngest brother since his birth, and have worked with children my entire life. This includes assistant-teaching a 1st grade class while in high school, teaching English in orphanages outside St. Lucia, South Africa, and working as a professional camp counselor at a facility for children with serious illness. I am athletic, outgoing and have a passion for the outdoors. I am pursuing a BA in Psychology with a subsequent MSW (Masters of Social Work). I am Red Cross certified for CPR/AED as well as Lifeguarding. I currently work for a child-welfare agency focusing on rebuilding families and teaching self-reliance to young children. My work includes facilitating learning-based recreational programs for children of all ages. I have been trained extensively on preventing and addressing emotional outbreaks while encouraging the Read more transformation of difficulties into learning experiences. I will be continuing work with these children by connecting them with Equine Assisted Learning and Equine Therapy programs in Brewster, NY. I am searching for a more local position where I can help create a fun, loving and safe environment in which the children in my care will thrive. I am organized, reliable and am looking forward to making a positive impact with a local family while continuing my studies. References will be provided upon request.
