About Jalen

Hello! My name is Jalen and I am currently a senior at Eastern Nazarene College, I am going to school for Elementary Education with a minor in health. I am originally from Boston, MA. My experience with children started when I became an older sister to my younger sister and an aunt. I became her babysitter on a regular basis along with many of my cousins. From there I became the neighborhood babysitter gaining a lot of experience with kids at a young age. My mother was a family childcare provider, giving me my first experiences as teacher. I have been teaching at Prospect Hill Academy Charter school for the last six years and have taught Kindergarten through third grade in an educational and fun leader role. I really enjoy seeing children in both an educational and non-educational setting. I really enjoy life and being goofy is one of my favorite things to do with children. I like to play, use creative play, use our imaginations, be active, read, and have fun with children. I
