Hi! My name is Sam and I would love to meet you and your family! I have been working as a nursing technician in the children's ER for the past 4 years. I also worked as a teachers assistant in a second grade class for 2 years. My experience in both the medical and education fields means that I am happy to take care of kids of all ages, and abilities. I am comfortable with sick or medically needy children and I know what to do if there is an emergency. I am BLS certified, so I know CPR for all ages in addition to first aid, water rescue, and the abdominal thrust. I absolutely love working with kids! Some of my favorite activities are playing outside, reading, and anything with music. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I hope to Read more meet you and your little ones soon!
