I started working at the Y three years ago, in Child Watch as a babysitter and then in the gym. After that, I went to membership, and now I’m back in child care. I moved around to where I was needed during the pandemic.

Over the past three years, I have met many members. I really love this place and the people. The Y has provided me a great opportunity. The staff here is happy, their positive attitudes help create a positive atmosphere for the members. I like the atmosphere here--everyone is respectful. The Y helped me to get a scholarship to get my CDA so I can become a head teacher someday. I get to speak Spanish, and can help members who don’t speak English. And now, as an assistant teacher, I am happy to help the children learn a little Spanish, too.
