I have babysat and have worked with kids since I was 16 years old. During my undergrad, I worked at the German American School teaching children German in summer school. After graduating with a double German and Political Science Major, I joined Peace Corps and worked in the Youth Development Program in Ukraine. Upon returning to the US two years ago, I decided to switch gears and become a Nurse. I became certified as a Nursing Assistant and I have worked at Vibra Hospital (working in Sub-acute care) and at Regency Park (working in Hospice and Memory care Units). I start full time nursing school this January at the University of Portland and am currently looking to transition back into babysitting for this summer, fall and spring. I love working with kids and have a lot of experience doing so:)
