Afsha B.

From a young age, Ive always had a natural inclination toward caring for children. Growing up, I helped care for my younger brother whenever my parents were at work, which taught me both responsibility and patience. I also worked at an elementary school summer camp for over three years, where I was responsible for supervising and ensuring the safety of small groups of 46 children, while also helping manage larger group activities.

Currently, Im employed as a personal care home aide through New Yorks Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP), where I assist a mobility-impaired patient with daily needs. My passion for helping others extends into my academic life as well. Im a psychology major at St. Johns University, where I conduct research under Dr. Moscowitz, focusing on programs that support children with autism. Ive also taken coursework in child psychology, autism spectrum disorders, and intellectual disabilities.

Caring for others, especially children, has always been at the heart of what I do, and Im excited about the opportunity to bring that same care and dedication to your family.
