Meet Ashanti

  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! I am a very experienced childcare worker from NYC with an academic and professional experience background in psychology, child welfare, and direct working with youth. Right now I am a Teaching Assistant at Manhattan Youth, working with elementary and middle school children in the after-school program, and have a Forensic Psychology degree (cum laude). Also, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in Hofstra University, volunteering as a crisis counselor at Crisis Text Line – so I do have real-life training on how to be cool and concise in stressful situations and help kids overcome their emotional problems. Also, I worked as a paraprofessional/research assistant at iBRAIN, a school for children with special needs, gaining experience in patience, discipline, and personalized approach. I truly love being around kids and creating a comfortable environment for them to grow and learn and develop – be it by helping Read more with their homework or by playing together or just being there.
