Hello! My name is Thalya Velasco, and I am 30 years old. I have been working with children since I was 15, and I genuinely enjoy it. Over the past few years, I have primarily worked with infants and toddlers, but I am fond of children of all ages. When the weather is favorable, I enjoy taking the children outdoors, and when it is not, I engage them in puzzle-solving activities. In my leisure time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my beloved pet. Please feel free to contact me for references or if you have any questions. Work Experience] - Group Leader, Girls Prep Bronx Middle School - Training Coordinator, Good Shepherd Services, Bronx - Parent Educator and Child Care Aide, Vibrant Emotional Health My responsibilities have included observing and documenting children's behavior, developing and implementing age-appropriate curriculum, and planning activities that foster their emotional and intellectual development. Additionally, I have completed several relevant training programs, including: - Mandated Reporter/Poison Prevention in Children - Safety When Home Visiting - CPR Certification - Adult Mental Health First Aid While my current position in social work does not require these specific certifications, I am happy to provide copies of them upon request.
