Dynamic Group Argument

As a childminder my services interacts regularly with Children centres who offer classes such as toddler groups which assist a child in their early years with their development through play, songs and story times. They also offer training and support to children and their families such as finding employment, childcare and breast feeding.

Being a parent transformed me in unexpected ways. I found myself wanting to provide for my daughter and later my son the same security and benefits my parents had provided for me. I found a job at University Children’s Center. UCC provides care for children from the ages of 6 weeks to 6 years and I wanted to be close to my children. I worked with all the age groups but found my niche in the infant program. I enjoyed the close bonds I was able to form with both the babies and their families. I took great pride in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I took classes to become Infant Nursery Room Supervisor. Once again, I excelled in my studies and enjoyed the learning process. Bringing the information I learned into the classroom was

This job is a good fit for me because I love children, especially infants, I think kids are fun

It was a delightful feeling to converse with many of my fellow students that share the same passion as myself.

•What are some new topics you might want to learn about in the coming semester?

My role in this company is to contribute with a high standard of physical, emotional, social and intellectual care for children placed in the nursery. Monitor the wellbeing of the children, make sure they have appropriate play, create a environment that promote positive behaviour, meet regulatory requirements in the childcare setting, give support to other staff and work as a part of a team both with staff members and parents or guardians of the children.

My job description helps me to think about what I need to achieve in order to fulfil my role as a childminder.

I say this because of the information that we will take with us and the impact it has made during our weekly department meetings at work. We start off each session by discussing the topic from the class that I am involved in at the time. I have to say that this Psychology course has been a big hit for all of us. We have learned more about each other in these last four weeks than I could have ever imagined. Now I know why my employees are always tired at work :). I hope that this learning curve continues so that we build a bond that will provide a healthy work environment for each

Hello, my name is Yajaira Gilkes. I am a mother of three and a grandmother to one. I have worked with children for over twenty-two years. I love teaching children and most of all I know that God's plan for my life is to work with children because when babies or children in public consistently have conversations with me I know that this is beyond me. So far, being a substitute teacher or working with students in an after-school program has grown my love for children.

My first experience working with tribe was as a teacher’s assistant in an early child care center. The adventure of working at the child care center, was rather exhausting and an exciting experience. Although the pay was not too impressive, I could not have requested anything better than to have the regular day shift job. By working with the department of education, my job allowed me to have a set schedule, which allowed me to work during the day and also, on special occasions I experience paid holidays and vacations. The benefits of this job was rather a dream come true except for the daily challenges of controlling a room full of crying infants or even better yet babbling toddlers.

(c) child welfare - Previously as a Volunteer Guardian ad Litem, I served as a legal court-appointed Special Advocate on behalf of foster children in cases of child neglect. My duties included, but were not limited to working with a team of caseworkers and investigators conducting research and analysis to advocate for case participants needs. Recently I’ve obtained position with the State of Washington as a Social Worker for the Child Protective Services Division investigating complaints and supervising children awaiting placement.

Also enjoy working in a partnership with my families. I provide children a diverse and developmentally appropriate environment that allows them to meet their individual needs. In my program I help families achieve their goals. For instance, if a parent tells me that they want to take English classes but don’t know how to enroll. I find resources for them in the community and help them to accomplish their goals by providing the information. In the past I had a parent who wanted to further her education but did not know what to do. I provided her with information regarding enrollment, fafsa, and made her an appointment for an assessment. I informed her that the library has computers she can use in order to complete her application.

After struggling with the department of education and guiding my son through the right path, I decided to become a paraprofessional for children with special needs. I absolutely love my job. Being able to help other children by accommodating their needs is a true blessing. Providing children with the tools necessary so they can accomplish given goals and expectations according to their specific needs makes me feel like a successful assistance. I have learned to be patient, understandable and resourceful for both children and families in my classroom.

I learned a lot from them as they learned a lot from me. The trust we had enabled us to develop bonds, mature, and open up to the freshmen. We established a comfortable

I grew up loving children of all ages and wanting to be a caregiver. I was the baby sitter and nanny to the neighborhood and my church ward. When I was in High School’s it was no surprise to anyone that I chose to work in the school’s child care center. I continued working with children at several child care centers until I went to school.
