Hello! My name is Afreen, I have a Bachelors in Health Science and a Masters in Integrative Physiology. Currently, I am studying to take the Optometry Admission Test. My first experience working with kids, was when I volunteered at a DV shelter for around 4 years. At the shelter, I was certified to teach children the signs and cycle of DV, as well as methods to keep themselves safe. I accomplished this through group discussion, art, and writing. I also served snacks and dinner to the children. I mainly worked with children aged 5-12, but I would also provide babysitting services to the infants and toddlers. During the summer months, I also volunteered as a camp counselor. Currently, I've been working at a daycare for over a year. I take care of children aged 5 months to 12 years. There are usually 8 or more kids at a time. I genuinely enjoy my job, and have been told by managers and quite a few parents that I go above and beyond at how I care for the kids.

Afreen is fantastic with children. She is very attentive to the babies that are less than one, even when there are more than 10 other kids at the daycare that she has to watch. The other workers at the daycare don't pay anywhere near as much attention, so many of the parents prefer to bring their kids when she's on the clock. There are also a number of kids that are delayed in social skills and the other workers can't handle them, but Afreen somehow manages really well and the kids love her! If Afreen is watching my kids, I'd have nothing to worry about and feel very assured that they are being taken care of.
