Over to Yashika…
I love working in early education and care because it gives me a chance to provide the kind of education and care that I received as I was growing up. I believe that having a safe and secure environment to grow up in is the right of every child.
Throughout my career, I’ve been most proud of the moment when a child felt secure and trusted me when they were not feeling well and couldn’t describe how they were feeling. Helping them figure out these emotions and feelings is always a very fulfilling feeling.
When I’m not at Choklits, I enjoy listening to music, binge-watching Christmas movies at any time of the year, and dancing.
The cutest, funniest, or most beautiful thing a child has ever said to me was that I look like Elsa. This was funny because I have an Indian background and look VERY different to Elsa, but it reminded me that children’s minds work in mysterious and beautiful ways.
