My first job was as an assistant teacher in a first grade class and I knew straight away that I loved to work with children. From there I worked as a teacher at a daycare supervising children aged 1 month of age to 6 years of age and enjoyed moving between the rooms to work with the different ages. I also worked in after school care as well as tutored children aged 5 to 18 in English, math and science. When I started university I majored in psychology and began to do applied behavioural analysis with children on the autism spectrum. I worked and studied for 4 year and received my double degree in psychology and sociology and graduated with honours from the Australian National University. I then moved the US, became a registered nurse, where I worked as a labor and delivery and postpartum nurse right out of nursing Read more school because I loved being around the babies and helping mothers at their most vulnerable. Although fulfilling, I missed the psychology aspect of working with children and became a nurse practitioner specializing in children and adolescent mental health. I am currently waiting for my Rhode Island NP license to process and have some free time that I thought I would use to be able to babysit/nanny again. Although my career goals have grown and changed over the years, the one constant is my love for children because of their joy, constant energy and positive world view.
