Skills
- I realize that I am applying for a Para professional position and not a nursing position While I do still have a nursing license it has been inactive for 6 years While I do not have any experience as a para professional I do have many years of experience with chronically ill special needs children both when I was practicing pediatric home health for medically fragile children and in the pediatric clinical setting that worked at for more than 10 years I am also the mother of 3 special needs boys that I adopted I feel that I could collaborate with teachers, support the students' needs both physically and in the classroom setting, as well as provide any documentation necessary
