I have worked for this family consistently with other families on the side. This has taught me patience in dealing with kids, responsibility in cooking them food, cleaning up after them and ensuring their safety, communication skills with the kid and parents, and building connections with the family.

I taught kids with and without disabilities from ages of 3 to 16 to swim. This greatly taught me to adapt to new situation when dealing with kids with disabilities, excellent communication skills in talking to parents regarding their kids progress, providing support and guidance to these kids, and overall a love for making sure people of all ages know how to survive in water.

At White Cloud Pediatrics, I worked with Dr. Dalela. I assisted her with many tasks such as dealing with a mom and her new born baby to a family with two special needs kids. (July 2022) At Texas Institute of Orthopedic surgery and sport medicine, I will shadow Dr. Khan. (May 2024)
