A young Norville Center staff member's perspective

When I applied to work at the shelter, I thought it would just be like babysitting.  It was a little like babysitting, but more like being a mother and a buddy.

            At the shelter, the kids are treated as if they are a family.  There are many things to do around the house.  The kids can play outside, play games, watch television or any number of other things.  The most important thing of all is the love and attention that the children receive.  There is not one person who works at the shelter that does not show all of the kids the love that each child needs and deserves.

            Working with the shelter has touched me in many ways.  It takes a lot of heart to do my job, but I am glad that I have the opportunity to work with these children, and I hope that I am making a difference in their lives.
