Current Employee Testimony
“I began my career at Children’s Aid Society after enrolling my son in childcare as an infant. I was offered a job and remained in that position for 12 years. I left the agency for a different experience. I returned to Children’s Aid Society after 8 years of behavioral health work and have remained here ever since. Children’s Aid Society gives me the opportunity to help the agency reach their mission goals “to identify and provide services to improve the lives of children and their families”. Working with children and families is what I enjoy most about my job. Our team strives to give the best quality service to all families who need us. This year I celebrate 20 years with the agency, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

“I started as an intern and accepted a full-time position shortly after completing my bachelor’s degree in 2011. Shortly after being employed here, I decided to go for my master’s degree. I was given the opportunity to have a flexible schedule to juggle the responsibilities of attending school full-time and working full-time, which made the process of managing both obtainable for me. The agency always showed understanding and flexibility when needed. I have worked and interned with many of the programs that the agency offers since 2011. I now hold the role of Program Manager. Joining our team can offer you the opportunity to work in a variety of different programs that serve families and children at different capacities, making your experience in the social service field more diverse.”
Thank You,
