I have many years of experience as a caretaker. I have worked as a CNA, home health care aide, and DSP for all ages and degrees of care needed (from newborn to hospice). I have a BS in Anthropology degree and went back to school for a second BS in nursing but left the program after 3 years for personal reasons. Currently, I am getting certifications through NASM as a Personal Trainer and as a part of that I will also be recertifying for CPR-AED again in the near future. My most recent long-term client went to an assisted living (now that her needs exceeded what I could give her in her home), which is what brings be back to care. com. I am certain both her and her family would provide references if necessary. My method for childcare is working with parents as a team and encouraging children to pursue their passions in a safe, clean, and loving environment. When working with adults and those with special needs assist where needed to enable the greatest degree of independence possible.
