My experience on a professional level working with children started in 2000. I did my internship with Project STAR, a foster care/adoption agency while completing my last year at Geneva college in PA. I was hired at that agency as a Permanency Specialist (fancy name for social worker) before I graduated from college with my BS in Human Services. I worked for this agency from Nov. 2000- April 2011. During that time I did some respite care for children with special needs as well. In October 2011, I began working for Cuddlebugs Daycare and was promoted from Manager to Director in January 2014. I was responsible for the general management of the facility as well as caring for the children on a daily basis. In May 2014, I began working as a Group Supervisor/Director at Kids Connexion, LLC until June 2017. I left PA and moved back to MD to Read more take care of my father who had cancer and ended up passing away in Aug. 2017. While working at the daycare I was responsible for providing daily care to the children including meals, educational activities and assisting the owners of the daycare. My specialties include infants and toddlers. My boss had given me the nickname "The baby whisperer" and many of the parents referred to me as "momma Kaleesha". In January 2018, I began working part time, as a substitute teacher for AACPS, taking assignments as needed. I have my child abuse clearances, criminal clearances and FBI clearances. I have also been certified in infant and child CPR and first aid. I also have an 10 year old daughter. I love children very much and each day that I was at work, the children would say something to make you laugh or put a smile on your face. It feels good to know your doing a great job when they are happy and the parents are happy. I love working with children. I love that I get to be a part of their life watching them grow up. Some people don't understand why I would want to work with children all day but this is something that I love and I wake up everyday not dreading going to work, I actually look forward to it. I enjoy what I do and that's what matters most to me. I have several references from parents I can give if needed.
