Hi there! A little about myself - I'm a student at UMass Amherst, though I've stepped away for a bit and am currently in paramedic school. I became an EMT this past summer and decided that I wanted to continue on to the next level of care. I plan to later return to UMass and finish my undergraduate schooling, majoring in psychology while also on the Pre-medical track. From there, I hope to attend medical school and become a physician. Why hire me? Firstly, I absolutely adore kids... pets as well! I have always enjoyed kids, even as a kid myself! In the past, I've worked as a gymnastics coach and had a really great experience working with kids of various ages. I was often responsible for watching groups of kids and am comfortable in doing so. I'm very reliable, personable, caring, and attentive. I'm also CPR certified! I hope to hear from you soon!
