Our Babysitters

HI, I'm RaeShar! I'm from Louisa,Va which is a small county town not far from Charlottesville, Va. I grew up in a fairly large, close knit family. Since my family was family was rather large, we depended on each other for many things, including childcare. I first began babysitting my cousins when I was about 12 years old. Being fairly young and having to look after another person really taught me how to be responsible. Currently, I attend Old Dominion University. I am a sophomore majoring in Psychology and minoring in Human Services. When I first came to Old Dominion University my goal was to graduate with a B.S. in psychology, become a social worker for a few years and then after more schooling, become a child psychologist. Now after taking a few psychology classes, instead of being a social worker, I would like to enter some profession that requires me to work with mental disabled children. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to work with children. Rather it was being a teacher, pediatrician, or daycare owner, I knew I wanted to make a living while being around children. Now that I am older, I have come to the conclusion that not only do I want to work with children but I want to help children; I want to make an impact on their lives. I believe that child are our future and I want to be able to help these children make their and our futures wonderful!
