Hello, I am a certified aquatic and recreational therapy through NCTRC. I do have the credentials through Red Cross of CPR/First Aid/AED and Lifeguarding, as well as teaching these courses, too. When I was in high school, I babysat my cousins, neighbors, and principal’s son. I graduated from a collegiate high school in Dallas, Tx. Then, pursued a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation with a minor in Educational Psychology. All throughout college, I worked in the bookstore and was a nanny to a family with two boys. After graduation, I worked full time as a therapist in Ft. Worth, Tx. I loved it and was passionate about my work, however, I got hit in a car accident toward the end of my first trimester. This required me to go on bed rest immediately for the remaining pregnancy. I have thought about getting back into therapy, but I have decided Read more to further my education. I am looking to care for another mother’s precious baby girl/boy, as I do my own. I am currently a full time mom of a baby girl. My daughter just turned 1 years old and loves to learn, sing, dance, and play. As I care for my daughter, I am awaiting acceptance into SHSU medical school. I will be taking a class in the fall, but I often manage my courses at night. I prefer to be completely attendant and engaging at all times so I wait until my daughter is sleeping to study and complete assignments.
