I am a 18 year old student currently in enrolled at swic to become a licensed nurse in psychology. All also while being a full-time working employee. I enjoy letting children be children because i grew up having a very active childhood which i would never be bored. My family received the special chance to take in a child at just 6 months, taking care of him and treating him with love and educating him with the way of life. Which he not only became my motherβs responsibility but mines which heβs now 6 years old. I am a very understanding person when it does come to children and parenting because everyoneβs children are different so I make it my best duty to accommodate not only the children but parents as well when it comes to snacks, food and drinks. Also including phone time or any certian health issues. I am very patient and handle and tasks that I am given with care :)β€οΈ
