About Malakai

Hi! I'm Kai, a social work student with experience working with children in educational and caregiving settings. I currently work as a kindergarten instructional assistant, where I support children with a variety of emotional, behavioral, developmental, and learning needs, including neurodivergent students. I also previously worked as a lunch supervisor supporting elementary-aged children. I'm passionate about creating a safe, patient, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while learning and growing. I enjoy crafts, hands-on activities, reading, outdoor play, and helping children build confidence and routines. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and committed to building positive relationships with both children and families. My long-term goal is to continue gaining experience working with youth as I pursue a career in social work and child welfare.
