Introduction

This is the first my first attempt at a blog.

Thought I would introduce myself again.

My name is Alison Carson. I am a proud mother of three children ages 6 years old, 3 years old, and almost 2 years old.

In October of 2007 I started working for Community Services of Venango County in their Early Head Start Program as a Home Visitor. As a Home Visitor, I had a caseload of nine to twelve families. My goal was to teach the parents/caregivers that they were their child’s first and best teacher. In April of 2010, our agency expanded into another county and I became the Program Supervisor/Education Coordinator for the new county. I supervise six home visitors who serve seventy-two slots. Slots are either pregnant women or children birth to three years. As a Home Visitor and as a Program Supervisor/Education Coordinator we need to be careful about how we treat our families. We have to learn about their cultures and their beliefs so we can better serve them.

I feel that being part of an online program will let me fulfill my duties as a student, a working professional and as a mother of three young children. I can work it into my schedule so I can still work and take care of my family while I am earning my Master’s degree.

  1. I am sorry that your cousin's father was mean to her, but I am glad that no one lost hope. It is great that she had made a miraculous recovery. I am also glad that you are working in your field. I think it is great that there are online schools which allow people to continue their education while spending time at work and with their family.
