Meet Cherakie

Hi, my name is Cherakie! I’m a 22 year old college graduate with my associate’s degree in childhood education. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old. I interned and later worked as a summer camp counselor at Studio School NYC. I also work at Ramapo for Children, a sleep-away camp for children with special needs, during the summer as a camp counselor. Currently, I am a lead daycare teacher who is employed with Kindercare. Through my years in education, I have gained experience with all school ages. Through my current job, I have gained experience with toddlers and infants as well. I am incredibly hardworking and dedicated to helping children, which is my biggest passion. I am open to any questions you may have!
