About Akilah

My husband and I realized that as my parents were getting older, there were things that they could no longer do easily, so we moved to another state where we could afford a larger home to be able to take them in. Since then, my father-in-law has been diagnosed with dementia and my father-in-law requires many trips to the doctors. It has been a challenge adjusting to each other in our living situations, and frustration learning to deal with someone with dementia, but, I have to draw on the strength and guidance of God and people who have been in this situation. Meeting new people and providing caregiving services that they can no longer do for themselves. I am personally glad that i achieved my bachelors degree in 2004 Three years working as a supervisor for Naikwas Daycare center and a child care provider for “In Good Hands”. I have had extensive interaction with children, ranging from infancy to 18 years, as well as their parents and guardians. Unique background as a director of children's theatre at my church. Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice . Specialized coursework including Intro to Law and classroom learning principles. I Assisted in care of special needs children within the School City of East Chicago Indiana. Additionally, I have lived in Illinois, California, Mississippi, Indiana and currently living in Atlanta Georgia. Living in such diverse places has endowed me with a great deal of appreciation for diverse groups of people
