Taught engaging childbirth classes for over 20 years with repeat attendees.

While teaching childbirth classes, I would cover the phases, stages of labor along with epidural placement, cesarean sections and need for unplanned sections, inductions of labor methods, policies of hospital, visitation policies, post partum care and newborn care culminating with a tour of hospital birthing rooms, Due to the nature of my teaching skills with engaging participation and relaxed atmosphere, I had several people attend with subsequent pregnancies and several attendees came by word of mouth and suggestions from previous attendees.

Additional Information

I have an effervescent personality that is cohesive with most every employer and coworker. I have done travel assignments in Oklahoma and Texas with extensions in both places. I look forward to new opportunities, meeting people and new learning sets. Frequent statements made about me by coworkers, friends and family are, "never meets a stranger" and "would talk to a fence post."
