Hello, my name is Chenieka Morgan-Mills, I am a site
supervisor for a non-profit agency. I have been in the early education field
for 15 years, I started as a teacher assistant and worked my way up to site
supervisor. I received my AA degree from Los Angeles Trade Technical College,
My BA from National University, my Master’s from Walden University and I am
currently working on my Ed.S from Walden University.
I am the proud mother of one son by birth and three
daughters by inheritances, I have two grandsons and two granddaughters thanks
to my daughters. I have been with my husband for 25 years (married for 13
years). I have three dogs, one cat and a guinea pig. I only have one
picture of me when I was little, my family was not into taking pictures.
I have always been told that I would be good working with young children
but I actually feel in love with working with young children when I was about
14 years old. I had a summer job as a yard helper and I worked with
kindergarteners. Then during high school I worked at a boys and girls club and
my passion for working with children grew. I chose to work in communities that
are low-income and the children are at a higher risk because I can identify
with them more based on my early years. During my early years I did not play
often, I had the responsibility of raising my younger siblings. That is why I have
always supported and encourage my son to play and I took plearsure in watching
him discover new materials and ways to play. Today he is a devoted baseball
player.
This is my son in his "fort". This was the first time he showed interest in playing with a box. He played house, camping, and a lot of other games with his box. When he got tired he filled the box with blankets and his pillow and climb in. I asked him if he planed on sleeping in it and he said yes, so I let him. He played with the box for about a month before it tore apart and he had to let it go.
