family four kids: James Jr., Antonio, Isaiah, & Janesha
Our House staff since 1997
I help train the job trainees in
the day care, and I take care of
kids ages 6 weeks to 2 years old.
My childhood goal was to become
a teacher.
Playground Supervision Aide,
Little Rock School District
I was an AmeriCorps member for
two years at Starting Point Day
Care [now Little Learners]. It was
Our House’s day care and was
in the same place it is now, but
the shelter was on Main Street.
When the babies cry. I listen to
music, and I talk to them. It
helps them stop crying.
I like the people I work with
because everybody is so caring,
understanding, and concerned.
I was in a foster home until I
was 19.
My role model was Connie
Green. She was the director at
Starting Point, and she encouraged me to go on to what I am
doing now. She said I would be
good at it since I love kids.
My toy that had a string on it
that you pull, and it spins, and
you hear the animal sounds!
