Yahaira L.

I am a 23 year old student who attends John Jay college of Criminal Justice majoring in Sociology. I currently work for the Department of Education (DOE) as a Paraprofessional in early childhood, grades K-6. I generally work with children, who have disabilities ranging from autism, ADHD, emotionally disturbed, and further more. Working with the DOE in the last 5 years, in a classroom setting, has taught me an abundance of skills such as, working with multiple students at a time, finding different ways of communicating, and always using positive reinforcements. I was given the opportunity to work at the YMCA summer day camp through the DOE in 2017. This experience was full of hands on, entertaining, educational activities! Being able to be apart of the students hard work and seeing everything come into accomplished projects from dance performances, science fairs, and sport games was a very rewarding experience.
Working with children has shaped me into a nurturing, creative, and disciplined individual. These qualities will help me create a friendly bond, bring homework to be engaging and understanding, and having all chores and bed times met, and much more. I am excited to continue my career path in child care through babysitting.

PS: I love taking hikes with my dog, Pepper. I am always eager to engage in outdoor activities.
