I am a tri-lingual in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I graduate with my MD this coming January and plan to apply for pediatric residency next year. I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant and have over 5 years working for private families. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of children. I was a dance teacher assistant for 6 years for children 2-12 years. I also volunteered during college with "Splash Pals" which is an organization that pairs children with disabilities with volunteers so that they can enjoy the pool and have a safe, fun environment. I have also been a counselor at summer camps and a nanny for multiple families. I got certified during middle school and took the American Red Cross babysitting course when I was in middle school. I also regularly volunteered at my church's Sunday school classes, alternating between the 0-11 months and 1-3 Read more years. I consider myself to be a compassionate sitter and enjoy playing with the kids and doing arts and crafts. I am handy with hairstyling and enjoy getting involved with playing with the kids, whether it's video games (I know Roblox is popular) or educational games. I enjoy the outside as well. Fun fact about me is that I am a mama to two feathery cockatiels named "Cookie" and "Peekaboo."
