Barbie Fitka

Head Start Director

Barbie is the Head Start Teacher Director at the Head Start here in Marshall. Her employer is RurAlcap. She has been working seven hours a day, Monday through Friday, for six years. She expects to work as long as she can. Barbie has a high school diploma.

Barbie spends most of her time in the classroom with the Head Start students. She also spends time with the kids' families, and with the staff. Four of her job responsibilities are: working with kids,screening kids, making home visits to the students' families, and doing the end of the month paperwork.

The best thing about Barbie's job is watching the kids learn. The worst thing about her job is problem solving. Her advice to the younger people is to finish high school, and if you know what you want to do, go for it.
