I'm an 20 year-old college sophomore pursuing a career as a pediatric nurse. My passion for working with children has been evident for years, as I've gained extensive experience as a camp counselor and providing at-home daycare. Caring for children with love and dedication is my top priority, and I strive to create a nurturing environment for every child I look after. My background has equipped me with the skills to handle various situations with patience, ensuring that each child feels happy under my care. I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm to your family!
