Cda Autobiography
I am a native of Florida, a small town in the panhandle. I am the oldest of three. My parents had me while still in their teenage years. Doing the best they could, we all seemed to grow up together.
I first became interested in working with children as a babysitter in my early teens. Even if I didn’t get paid I enjoyed being with young children. As time progressed I began to work in the nursery at church then moved on to the preschool age children. That’s when I found my love of Preschoolers; they’re like sponges they just soak it in.
Throughout my high school years I took Child Development courses and worked as a student worker with at risk families with children from birth to three years of age. Shortly after my marriage I worked with preschoolers in my school district’s Pre-K Center. That was such a rewarding time for me. I continued to work there until the birth of our daughter. That’s when I decided to be a stay at home mom to teach/play with her and bond being my child’s first teacher. A few years later my second and last child came along. I sure found out how different children/siblings are. Now, I try to remember that we are all made from a different mold.
Moving on to the present with both of my children in school I felt it was time to go back to my love of preschoolers. I currently work in an elementary school and want to further myself educationally by obtaining my CDA. Hopefully my little sponges will be absorbing positive affirmations in a world on negativity. That’s a little bit about me. My goal is to make a difference in one child at a

    Do you enjoy working with children? Is a question that I like to think of when it comes to working in the field dealing with the responsibilities of taking care of children. Today, there are more needs for children to be taking care of and learning about why it is so important to have a good education.

This is one of many activities in the classroom that helps them to develop variety of different skills they need for everyday life and I get to be part of it. I understand that as their teacher I am a big influence on them and every moment of the time they spend in the school and I provide them with loving and positive environment. Every day, while they are away from their families, they get to spend a day filled with learning carefully planned fun activities, and I am very happy to be a part of that.

    I enjoyed being with children so much that my first “real-world” paying job was at a summer camp. Between volunteering at the church Vacation Bible School and working at the summer camp I realized I have a great connection with children and can help make a difference in their lives and that is what I seek to do. I have since been employed at a few different childcare facilities along with a music store and book store but no matter what I always found myself returning to working in either a childcare or school…

The nature of families and children in relation to society is important for my profession because in order to help improve the childcare center.

Every child is different and part of that comes from their family and home environment. This is what makes them unique and they bring that uniqueness to the classroom. Before we can try to understand the child we first need to understand the child as a whole, their background and family life.…

    I decided to become an early childhood professional because kids are simply my passion. Even though working with children may not always be easy, its still worth it. Some days can be frustrating, and we may need to go take a breather, but there’s always something in my head telling me to not give up. When I’m around kids, I feel like I forget everything that's around me, I forget what’s going on. If I arrive in a bad mood, when I sit down with a child, my mood changes.
