A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Makeda, and I am currently a student at Southeastern University, pursuing a degree in social work with the goal of working within the foster care system. I have a passion for helping children and a deep desire to support individuals in need. As the youngest of four siblings, I understand how dynamic and lively a household can be! I am eager to contribute as a helping hand while developing my skills, which will serve me in my future career :)

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have experience tutoring third and fourth graders in reading, writing, and math. Additionally, I was a regular babysitter for three different families, where I built strong connections not only with the children but also with their families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I have a passion for art-related activities, particularly rock painting and coloring books. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and encourage the children I care for to do the same. Some of my favorite outdoor activities with kids include going on walks to pick flowers, visiting playgrounds to play on the slides, or riding bikes if they are old enough. Additionally, I have a love for reading and enjoy sharing that passion by reading to younger children.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with autism, as well as individuals with special needs through the Night to Shine program. Night to Shine is a prom event designed for people with special needs, where I had the opportunity to spend time with them, provide support, and build meaningful connections throughout the evening.
