Summary

I have been a highly motivated caregiver for the last 14 years. I am looking to start a new journey in the field of childcare. It as been a passion of mine since I graduated high school but life took a turn and I chose to focus on nursing. I have enjoyed my years helping the elderly with their last years with us. However I am ready to help our youngest people star their learning journey in any way that I can.
