A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Jean-Pierre Vassor, a college graduate with a degree in psychology. I have three younger sisters, and being the eldest has given me a natural sense of protectiveness. I often describe myself as having an "older sibling complex," always looking out for others, especially kids. My personality blends enthusiasm and poise. I’m passionate about psychology and helping others, but I also know how to stay grounded. Growing up with my sisters, I developed a strong connection to kids, and I love offering guidance and emotional support. I aim to be a positive, steady influence, providing the care and attention children need to thrive. Whether professionally or personally, I’m committed to supporting and nurturing younger people.

A little bit about me

I've worked at a trampoline park with kids from all age ranges coming in and my duty was to ensure a safe but fun jumping environment that I mastered and soon became a supervisor. I also tutor math and English for kids at Kumon. I have also volunteered at grassroots looking over kids that struggle with financial stability. I am Burmese-American, and speak fluent Burmese. I have a younger brother who is 11. I am a college student who plans to gain my masters in public health and hopefully start my own NGO one day by helping kids around the world.

A little bit about me

Mary E Payne I entered the field of Child Care over 20 years ago with 4 years of Nanny. It's not about money but how much you care for Any infant/Child. The love, patients, and compassion when working or caring for the "little people". The smile to put on the face warms my heart. It's a service, yet, watching them and how they learn, provided the right direction, guidance and instructions are given. It's so important how I govern myself interacting with the parents of child or children. All the above was true before 2020. The dis service we incurred as care givers; not able to know specifics of the child's evening at home and then returing the next day? Parents could No longer visit the class room or the center to see the work of what their child's progess. Well so much has changed not for the better but for the worse. Yet as care givers we still try giving by putting our best foot forward.
