WHERE CHILDREN TRANSFORM

Robert Carter always had a passion for social work and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and later a Masters in Criminal Justice (MS/CJ). After graduating he went on to become the Executive Vice President for a boys Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP). Robert's experience led him to open a boys STRTP in Sacramento and multiple girls STRTP facilities in Bakersfield, through Scott's Social Services, and he hopes to continue expanding so the needs of our local youth may be met. 

In his free time, Robert loves spending time with his wife Tiffany and their children. 

 Tiffany Carter is a dedicated professional with a deep passion for supporting and uplifting her community. She holds a degree in psychology and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy, equipping her with the skills and knowledge to navigate the complex world of social work and child welfare. Tiffany began her career at the Jamison Center in Bakersfield, where she worked before earning her degree. She then became a social worker, specializing in family reunification, and quickly advanced to a role within Child Protective Services (CPS). There, she focused on investigating cases of sexual and physical abuse, neglect, and the removal of children from unsafe homes. Tiffany also worked on permanent placement for children approved for adoption, with a particular focus on older youth adoption.

It was during her time in CPS that Tiffany recognized a pressing need for more youth homes, which led her to approach her husband Robert about starting their journey together, ultimately founding Scott's Social Services. This entrepreneurial venture allowed them to offer a safe and nurturing environment for youth in need, and Tiffany’s commitment to supporting children and families has remained a central part of her life’s work.

Tiffany’s entrepreneurial spirit extends beyond social services. She is also the proud owner of a beauty salon in Bakersfield, CA, where she combines her passion for beauty with her desire to make a difference. As a Black woman and beauty salon owner, Tiffany recognized the lack of accessibility to Black beauty supplies in her local community. In response, she opened Beauty Connections, a beauty supply store that caters to everyone but offers a wider variety of Black beauty products than any other suppliers in the area.

Alongside her work in social services and beauty, Tiffany is passionate about real estate and is an active member of her community. She serves as a board member for the Bakersfield National Association of Women Business Owners, and, as a proud mother and wife, she cherishes spending quality time with her family. Tiffany's journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to making a positive impact, whether through her work with youth, her entrepreneurial ventures, or her dedication to her community.
