I am a genuine, kind, and honest 35 year old woman. I am married going on 9 years with 2 young children, boy 7 and girl 9. I value spirituality, love, life, and family. Respect is non-negotiable. I love to laugh and enjoy self-care. I am compassionate about my career. Currently, I am a Student Nurse in my senior year of school with completion of 4 clinical rotations. I work as a Nursing Assistant at a children's rehabilitation hospital. I received my Bachelors degree from Penn State University in Human Services and Family Studies with a minor in Psychology. I have 10+ years of hands-on case management, behavioral health, and psychology experience. I have been babysitting since I was 15 from family, nieces and nephews to kids from the neighborhood. I have been a caregiver since I was 22. I recently provided home health care for my grandmother for almost Read more 2 years until her passing in 2020. I would like to consider myself an all around caregiver more than a nanny or babysitter. I include all aspects of the home environment such as lighting, smell, temperature, sounds, etc. a huge part of caring for anyone, not just the physical person. Setting the mood and removing distractions for activities like eating, reading, napping, quiet time is essential. My top priorities are safety, health, cleanliness, organization, and stability, all of which creates a thriving environment for both the individual(s) and myself. It is important to connect and build rapport with my clients and their families, so a few introductory meetings should be conducted before hiring to see if I am a good fit for the family and their needs. I enjoy reading, board games, Nintendo switch, swimming, art/coloring, movies, traveling and road trips. I love family time so anything including my husband and kids are easily my favorite. They are my favorite people. I am CPR and BLS certified. I am willing to complete any additional trainings and certifications, as requested. I love education and take advantage of personal and professional development opportunities. Thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones.
