Hui-Min Halliwill

My name is Hui-Min Halliwill. I was born in Taiwan. My parents are from China. I am the oldest of three and I have one sister and one brother. My family moved to the U.S. in 1979 when I was 12 years old. I lived in Colorado and other places out west before settling in Michigan. My husband and I have been married since 1994. We have an 8 year old son named Zeke and most recently we added two new members to the family, Autumn, 8 and Alena, 6. My husband and I adopted them this summer. I like to watch comedy and action movies. I also enjoy cooking, playing golf and reading Chinese fictional stories set in historical periods.I started working in the child care profession several years ago and have found it very rewarding. I’ve been able to apply the knowledge I acquired from raising my son, and from reading books. I’ve also taken credits in Early Childhood Development classes and received my CDA Certificate. I am still taking credits and working towards my Associate Degree at WCC. It is a great joy to watch children reaching each milestone and seeing the confidence in their faces when they succeed. I also like to apply new things that I have learned from training. I started out working with infants, then young toddlers and now young preschoolers. I have been working at this center since 2004.
