In this special Mother's Day edition of #SupportVaKids, host Mariellen Keely welcomes mother-daughter duo Ameera Vines, Support Enforcement Specialist Senior at CVDO, and Helen Vines, Business Process Reengineering Consultant with Virginia Child Support. Together, they share their personal journeys into public service, the importance of maintaining independence while working in the same agency, and the surprising parts of their personalities you might not see at first glance.

Helen reflects on her deep commitment to helping others and her transition from advocacy work into child support services, while Ameera talks about her path from corporate events to case management—and how she brings creativity and heart to staff training. From Friday dance parties to family group chats, this episode is full of laughter, wisdom, and a heartfelt look at balancing family and professional life.

🎧 Tune in for an inspiring, warm conversation that celebrates connection, service, and showing up for each other every day.
