Hi! Iβm a nursing student at Chamberlain University and CPR certified. Iβve been babysitting for about 2 years, and I also have 3 nieces, ages 2,3, and 4, who I absolutely love spending time with!I also worked as a Medical Assistant for 3 years in an outpatient pediatric clinic, caring for children from newborns to 18 years old. I truly loved working in pediatrics! I helped take vital signs, prepare kiddos for their appointments, administered vaccines, and update medical records. I loved getting to interact with the kids, making them feel comfortable, and see their little smiles throughout their visits. Being around children has always made my heart happy, and my experience in pediatrics has made me hope to become a pediatric nurse when I graduate. β€οΈIβm a very caring, patient, and responsible person. My experience in nursing and pediatrics has taught me how important it is to be compassionate and attentive when caring for others. I love spending time with kiddos, playing with them, and reading their favorite books!
