Aleisha

Hi there, my name is Aleisha. I am 18 years old and recently graduated high school in 2017. I have worked with the YMCA for 3 years now, working with children of all ages, genders and needs in day camps and overnight camps. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, children and preteens. I also have experience working with kids who have mild to severe allergies and special needs. When working with children I always make sure that when doing activities to incorporate a little bit of learning into them, whether it’s basic math like counting or words. From working with the YMCA their four core values have been embedded in how I interact and teach children. I make sure that they learn responsibility, caring, respect and honesty. I believe that these values are essential for a child’s development. I am very artsy, so when interacting with children it’s usually something to with arts, whether that’s crafts, painting,building, singing, dancing or music.
