Hello About Play Family! My name is Chelsea Witter and I was born and raised in Beaufort, South Carolina. A little about me, I love to read, go shopping, travel, and spend time with my family. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in child advocacy studies at the University of South Carolina Upstate. During my first year of college, I wanted to be a nurse, but later on I realized nursing wasn’t my PASSION. I spoke with my academic advisor and we discovered a new career path. After my first child advocacy class, I knew I wanted to pursue a career working with children. After graduating from college, it was difficult finding a job working with children. Several months went by, and I got discouraged because every position wanted me to have the experience. I took a break and I discovered a job working with children. This job gave me experience with children that had ADHD, autism, behavioral issues, and learning disorders butI wanted to do something BIGGER and BETTER, so I decided to chase my dreams and continue to do what I love doing.
While discovering what my next job position was going to be, I discovered About Play. I read about the services they offer, everything that the company embodies, and the children they serve. After doing my research, I made the executive decision to apply for this job. Now, it has brought me on this wonderful journey! Having this career will allow me to put my degree to use and I have truly found my PASSION. My dream is coming true and I am excited to take on this new adventure. It took me a while to realize it, but every job I had working with children confirmed where I am supposed to be. I want to work with children and families because I want to make a difference in the lives of others. From experience, I saw how important it was to have early intervention so kids would not struggle when it was time to transition to grade school. One thing I would love about my job would be seeing the kids smile and improve in areas that need improvement. Also, I would love to see the parents happy and at peace knowing that their child is getting the help they need in order to be successful in life.
