I am currently a full-time student at St. Edward's University studying psychology. For the past 4 years I have had experience babysitting for many family-friends and relatives, as well as helping my mother raise my younger brothers and sisters. I have years of experience caring for children from infancy to adolescence. My time at St. Edward's has also benefited my care-taking because I have taken courses in child development and adolescent psychology. For the past year I worked as a Direct Support Professional caring for adults with mental illnesses. I gained many skills through this position which include administering medication, providing daily living assistance, preparing meals, planning daily activities, transportation to doctor appointments and events in the community, and providing first-aid care to minor injuries. I'm fun, responsible, patient, and have a great understanding of child development. I love taking care of kids because it's something I've had years of Read more experiencing doing. Overall, caring for others is something that I am very passionate about.
