I started officially babysitting ten years ago, when I was 12. It started with the young children of family friends and as I got older, I began to care for toddlers and infants. As the oldest child with 4 other siblings, I have always been responsible for caring for them. One of my younger brothers has autism, so I am familiar with the disorder. Also, I have experience caring for people with special medical needs and disabilities. When I was 14, my father was extremely ill with a chronic disease. While caring for him, I gained many skills related to health care. After he passed away, I became heavily involved in healthcare. I am currently a third year Nursing student at Austin Community College. I am expected to graduate in May 2024 with an ADN to be an RN. I also have a bachelors in Health Administration from Texas State Read more and a minor in Spanish. I do well in most subjects, but I really excel in math and reading/writing. I am able and willing to provide tutoring. I work part time as a caregiver. I have experience with physical disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, and with cognitive and social issues, such as autism and dementia. I have worked for home care companies and for private clients. I am currently renewing my BLS CPR certificate through the American Heart Association and vaccinated against COVID. I greatly enjoy caring for others, both young and old. I have two children myself, a 3 year old boy and 1.5 year old girl. I also have two nieces that I am very involved with. I love taking the kids out on trips to the museum or other fun places. I try my best to cultivate a love of learning and a respect for others. We try to practice respectful, gentle parenting in my household and encourage play based learning. I also enjoy caring for those with disabilities or health problems because I firmly believe everyone is deserving of compassionate, competent care. It only takes a single person to make a significant difference in a person's life. I hope to be that single person.
