Dating as far back as my youth , i had always aspired to be a childcare professional . with this goal in mind, i sought to pursue an early child hood development program in London in 2004 to equip myself with the rudiments of childcare and had the pleasure of landing my first child care assignment , i then migrated to the united states and have worked with diverse families in the Chicago area and its suburbs. I have had multiple experiences in newborn (singles, twins,preemies) and special needs care (autism, epilepsy, sickle cell) With an increasing interest in child care, I joined Margaret and her team of life savers to help and assist mothers with their newborn's needs. I am currently pursuing a degree program in nursing at Resurrection University to increase my skill level and become a pro at what i love to do . I consider myself Read more as being a very organized and compassionate individual possessing excellent communication and interpersonal skills which enable me function effectively and efficiently on the job
