Personal Narrative: My Internship At Playhouse Cooperative Nursery

While interning for Head Start they gave me the opportunity to spend time in the classroom and in the office. In the classroom, the teachers included me in any activities of the day to help me learn what it takes to serve underprivileged children. I learned how to interact with parents that were not content and also learned how to interact with the children.

I completed my internship at Saint Agnes Home, Inc (SAH) located in West Hartford Connecticut. I was assigned to single Teenage Mothers. The Saint Agnes is a non-profit program licensed group home run by the State of Connecticut Department of Children and Families for pregnant and/or parenting adolescents and their babies. The mission of the Saint Agnes program is to provide residential care and support services to single pregnant and parenting teen mothers and their babies. The Saint Agnes Home program emphasis values, respects life, and recognizes the unique dignity and optimum potential of each person served. The program is staffed by licensed clinical social workers, registered nurse, and other college prepares professionals.

Furthermore, my internship experience at Valley Caregiver Resource Center (VCRC) helped me gain knowledge in working with caregivers and their families. My experience at VCRC helped enhance and strengthen my ability to provide professional and quality services for clients. In case management I provided counseling, resources and information, assessment, developing care plan, specialized information to meet the caregiver’s needs to promote healthy and quality life for the caregiver and care receiver. My field internship provided the chance for me to facilitate caregiver support group, which was a great experience that I gained. I also had the chance to do outreach for community health fair and learning about the resource that are available.

During my first few weeks at my placement at St Anns, I worked with year 1 pupils and nursery pupils. My role at the nursery was to help the children with their school work and supervise them during lessons and breaks, as well as tidying the classroom. My time at St Anns improved my effectiveness as a career in three ways. It taught me how to behave around children. When I first started working at St Anns, I was still incredibly shy and was not sure how to interact with the children but through observing the permanent staff there. I learnt that you should always try to be happy around them, you cannot bring any

In the process of me completing an internship at the Department of Human Services, (DHS) in the department of children and families, I was asked to supervise a home visit with the non-custodial parent which in this particular case (father). So in this case the visit always takes place at the local park within the community. The custodial parent (mother) drove by the park and seen that the child’s father brought along his present girlfriend’s daughter to accommodate him with his visit with his son. The mother got upset because the father brought along his girlfriend’s

It was hour four. I glanced at the tiny digital clock on the dusty, outdated, desktop computer. “Five minutes left in free play!” I yelled over the jumbled sound of Mario Kart, xylophones and freeze dance. The daycare had almost a club atmosphere at this point as muffled dance music blasted through the speakers; the only partition between the high-energy fitness center and us was a thin wall of glass, littered with sticky handprints. There were currently thirty children ranging from ages 3 to 12 and it was up to me my coworker to watch all of them, do payments and update the roster. She was busy with the infants, leaving me to take care of everything else. Much like a general getting ready for war, I prepared myself. Sometimes, the room would have up to 40 kids in it at once, so I had to be an authoritarian. I knew I had it in me; I had practice using my voice working at the preschool.

I'm currently doing my internship at Morning Site Adult Day Care Center. I choose to do my internship at this place because in the future I would like to work with the senior community. One of the things that is stressing me already in my place is the employees environment because most of them are not satisfied about their salaries, some of them are not happy with their duties. Also there is a conflict about the center policies between the the social workers and the director. Even more, the owners are always talking and worried about the fundings to keep running the business. As Rosa mention there is not enough help to support our seniors and that is something that stressess me out. How I will be handling it the situation is by not been part

Life is crazy and unpredictable, in 10 years I would love to see myself owning my own daycare. Opening up my own daycare has always been a dream of mine. I will be married to who I am engaged to now, my fiancé Alexander Wiertzema and I hope we have at least three children. With having this many children, I plan on being a stay-at-home mother and owning my own daycare business. We will buy at building in downtown Little Rock, Iowa and name the daycare center Teyha’s Tots. I would love for my daycare business to grow and have people work under me. There is only one other daycare center in Little Rock, so I know I won’t have much competition, there is a high demand for daycare in that town.

For the week of March 7th- March 11th I did my internship at Cape Fear Middle School under the guidance of Coach Bell, Coach Reese and Mrs. Hayes the data manager. The first day of my internship, I helped coach Bell with his computer class assisting any student who needed help. I met a fellow intern Ms. Jessica Fallon who is a student at UNCW, and we both helped coach the A/B gym classes for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. I played the role of the DJ during the warm ups and referee when the groups played capture the flag. Ms.Fallon was the instructor for the exercise part of the classes so I couldn’t help much in that department. Thursday and Friday I was the messenger/ secretary for the majority of the day. That was better than sitting down on a

Preschool was really cool I made a few friends I remembered their faces but not too many memories. One thing that stood out was when I had to get my mouth washed out with soap it was the worst thing ever I can still the taste of the soap as I type this, yuck. Cleaned my mouth up literally and figuratively. I can remember graduation from preschool I was super excited but I think my mother was much more excited than I. She was so happy and smiling so big I can tell she was proud of me to this day she has that same feeling as I accomplish things in my life now.

Today was a hard day for me. I wasn’t feeling well when I got up this morning, but I push through and I’m glad that I did. There is one baby in the infant classroom that want go to anyone except for me; which make me feel good in a kind away. Mrs. Wright keep on trying to work with her, but she’s very slow to warm up to people. It will just have to take time for her to adjust to the teachers. Maybe next week once I’m not in the classroom she will start to warm up to them. I know for me at times it was hard hearing her cry for me, but I couldn’t do anything because I was attending to the other babies in the classroom. It was a challenge for me, but I got over it and learn how to multitask. I couldn’t go to planning with the teachers today

“Sean, hop into the car! We need to go and fast!” My father said to me during the spring of 2005. I was at my daycare in the middle of Bismarck. My tiny three year old mind had no idea what was happening, but still I can remember it, clear as day. The look in my father’s eyes told me that something important had either happened or was just about to happen. Of course, I already had some idea of what was occurring. I had nearly nine months of a warning beforehand. This is the story of how I, as a three year old boy, was introduced to my sister.

Since last week was canceled due to fog; this week was my first week at Celina Intermediate. I meet Jess Homan early that day to discuss this year, figure out what she expects out of me, and to figure out how the day goes. She was very open and understanding. She is also such a people person. Right away she introduced me to the other staff and surprisingly the other staff I will be communicating with were very young. I know age should not be an aspect I look for in a teacher, but with teachers, including mine, being younger I still feel more comfortable.

Goal 2: During day 4 and rest of the field placement, participated in responsibilities in the childcare assuming responsibility of the agency supervising teacher facilitating giving comfort attachment and secure to the verbal and nonverbal communication.

I am basically a volunteer/ intern with the American Red Cross for six months, which my internship with the Red Cross will end in the month of May 2017. Started of in August of last year 2016, I would usually come in the Broward chapter to do casework for the Disaster Team Action. However, due to my availability I had and realizing I was only volunteer for six months, Mr. Joe Baldelomar asked me if I could provide my services as a SAF agent, which I gladly accepted. In my Red Cross Email, I am considered as a contractor and I therefore have temporarily access till June I believe. After June, I will no longer have access to my Red Cross
