Hi! I am a student at UIS studying Sociology/Anthropology. I love being around children because of the endless laughter and life they bring to an ordinary day. I am also a mother of two children ages 6 and 4, so I understand the importance of balancing structure and fun activities for children. I also believe that children can learn through play and I try to incorporate learning opportunities when I babysit. I am always surprised at how well children respond to me, if not right away, then on their own time. All of the caregiving positions I have held in the past have required ample patience, compassion, and poise. You can find my name on the Illinois Health Care Worker Registry by performing a search on their website. I have listed my relevant caregiving certifications below, and while they are all relevant, none of them replace the skills learned through Read more motherhood. I look forward to working with your family! Relevant Certifications: Personal Care Aide Certification, Caregiver Training (40 hrs), 2015 Companion Care, Institute for Professional Care Education, 2015 Medication Trainer Course, Beverly Farm Foundation, 2011 Direct Support Training Program, Beverly Farm Foundation, 2010
