Hello! I love children, and have worked in the medical field in a pediatric setting for 4 years. I'm prior enlisted as a Hospital Corpsman and worked in 2 different pediatric clinics over 3 years. I love helping children learn and interacting with them. I'm the oldest of 4 so I have been helping raise and watch children for over 10 years, also I have a toddler of my own. I am CPR certified, and know basic first aid through my job in the hospital. I also have my Medical Assistant certification. I have worked in the Newborn Clinic, which consisted of caring for infants a few days old, helping mothers with breast feeding questions and issue with latching. I have experience with children with disabilities as I've worked in Developmental Pediatric Clinic, which treats children with a variety of disabilities and handicaps. I also have experience with speech delays Read more as my son has a receptive and expressive delay, so I'm active in working with him. I currently have my Associate's Degree in Health Sciences and graduated with high honors. I am currently working on getting my Bachelor's degree in Business Management. I took a several courses in Child Development, while pursuing my degree.
