My name is Althea. I'm an athlete who lives in Mount Vernon, New York. I have worked with children pretty much all my life. I babysit for 5- 8 years and I also worked with senior citizen for two years. I have worked with kids between the age of 3 - 11 years old. The pleasure of working with children has helped me in my career. I really didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, not until when I have started working with children. I came from a large family with lots of kids, so that has helped me along my career also. Taking care of them helped me in my major in college. I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies. I'm looking forward to getting my Master's in the same field to become a child life specialist or Master's in Education Read more to teach elementary or kindergarten. The pleasure of being around kids puts my mind at ease. It was a great experience taking care of them. They have learned from me and they have learned from them. Kids have their own way of communicating and their own languages. I made sure they were properly cleaned, read with them, helped with their homework, prepared their meals, played games with them and took them to the park and after school program. I also worked with kids in the summer (summer camps). Working with the elders brought back memories with my grandparents. The idea of having someone to talk to, put a smile on their face and keep their company were all they needed and I was glad I was able to took the time out and spend time with them. Being around my grandparents had thought me a lot about life and myself. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. I am a versatile, caring and nurturing individual. I am also reliable,organized, trustworthy and a team player.
