Hello my name is Shameka! but everyone calls me Meka. I am a full-time student in school to become a nurse practitioner but to specialize in becoming a midwife. All my schooling is done right now online thanks to COVID19. So it will not interfere with my work. I'm looking for a job that I can have that is flexible around my school schedule since all my school work is done online now. I love being around children I have a huge family and I've been working in this field for about 10+ years. I am CPR (Adult,Child, Infant) /AED and First Aid certified and trained to work with medically fragile children. I have a beautiful and fun Spirit and I'm always happy. I love the outdoors and fresh air and doing different activities like painting, drawing, watching movies or playing board games. I know that these last couple of Read more years has been crazy with everything going on with covid-19 but I would like to be a helping Hand and someone you can depend on so you can get your daily activities under control. If that means getting your kids out of your hair for a couple of hours or running errands for you. I'm available for whatever you need me to do to get you back on track.... Safety is very important to me so working with you and your family i will be taking the necessary precautions to make sure your household and myself stay safe.
