MWR Employee Spotlight Jeanette Krifchin, Assistant Center Director, CYSS

Where are you from?

I was born on Long Island and moved to PA in 2006. I currently live in Tobyhanna.

How long have you worked for MWR? 12 years What is your culture?

I was brought up in an Italian family.

What brought you to Tobyhanna Army Depot?

My husband was working on base as a painter and I found out through him that there was a childcare center. My background has always been in childcare and I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to be part of a quality program.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I love to take pictures, mostly of my children. I enjoy baking, crafting and learning sign language.

What do you enjoy most about working at MWR? I enjoy the support everyone gives one another. I really feel like we all have each other's backs and that feeling is very empowering.

What is your favorite movie and/book and why?

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan! I loved the books before the movies! The reason why I love Harry Potter so much is that when you read the books or watch the movies it brings you to a different world full of exciting things and mystery. Plus being able to cast spells with the flick of a wand would be so beneficial for house cleaning!

What is your favorite food?

I love all kinds of food. My favorite would be Asian food though!

What is your favorite restaurant?

There is a delicious Thai place in Stroudsburg called Thai Orchid. Such a quaint little restaurant that makes delicious food.

How do you relax and rejuvenate on the weekend?

I tend to just spend some time with my family, relax by watching tv or I do some retail therapy :) What inspires you?

I am inspired by kindness and positivity. I believe that good things come to good people and spreading kindness inspires me to be a good person. A favorite quote of mine since childhood is "Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up."

Tips for Parents: Social Networking Safety from the Family Advocacy Program Due to COVID-19, the use of social networking has increased to keep in touch with family, friends and love ones as result of isolation. More and more schools are using social media for students to have their schoolwork assignment done. This however, has also increase the possibility of children being bullied, accessing restricted sites and being contacted by child predators online.

Here are four tips parents can do to keep children safe: 1. Talk to about online safety and the risk of being online such as; being bullied and harassed online. Hackers are online ready to steal one’s identity even a child identity 2. Set rules that are age appropriate for your child/ren such as using privacy setting and not sharing personal information as well as what can be posted online. And clear instructions of who they friend online.

3. Talk to you child/ren of not responding to cyberbullying, because responding may make things worse. As well as, saving any messages of threats and violence they received and speaking to an adult as soon as possible so the police may get involved.

4. Supervise your child/ren activities online by limiting access to certain sites, apps, words or I mages. Adding features to your devices that prevent children from sharing personal information online. Limit your children time online and set the time of day they can use the internet.
