Hello! I am currently a (RN) Nursing Student at OCC and have two school-aged children with my husband. I have prior experience in being a nanny, having my own childcare setting at my home, and a vast amount of babysitting experience since 2010! I have a passion for children which is where I see myself after completing my degree - in Pediatrics or OBGYN. My true passion is being able to help, motivate, and share other's journey's in this lifetime. Back to basics and important background info. I have my current BLS/CPR certification, LOVE doing crafts, love cooking, and being outdoors with kids when at all possible (Syracuse, I'm looking at you!). I love to make kids feel comfortable and I can easily adapt to their level, wherever they are at. I absolutely love teaching children and making learning fun. I see many opportunities as a teachable moment and I Read more take advantage of it. Better to absorb more information than you want, then to not be exposed to the information you may need! I would love to bond with new families! Personally I am from the Lyncourt area but am happy to travel for the right family, naturally. I have reliable transportation, I am a non-smoker, and I can almost guarantee I can fill your needs! I believe in honest and open communication. I was self employed as a Private Duty Caregiver and Direct Support professional and I would never mislead anyone and I hope to find mutual respect there as well. I am an open book, so please, ask away!
