Meet Miriam

My name is Miriam, I'm a nursing student at the University of Virginia, school of nursing. I've been volunteering and working in the healthcare field for quite a while, but last summer I thought about trying a different route for myself. I worked at a daycare where I was a teacher assistant to every class there. I interacted with many kids at a variety of ages. Some of those kids were diagnosed with several mental illnesses as: ADHD, autism, and behavioral disorders. I learned how to develop several methods to create a bond with those kids and know exactly how to make them interact with others in an appropriate way. I worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school age. My main focus was how to enhance their cognitive, emotional and physical development. Hence, for each age, my activities varies from simple toy games all the way to mind games. For Read more every age, I came up with different ways on how to get those kids' attention and get them involve within their classes. As I look back, I was blessed enough to have such an experience. I learned a lot, and that's why I want to continue learning and trying new methods with different kids. I consider myself a passionate, caring and helpful person who always want to see the best in people, especially kids. I believe that kids are the seeds for the upcoming generation and if we do a great job in planting them, we will have such a successful young ones who can bright our future.
