My background includes private-duty pediatric nursing, home health, and school nursing, caring for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children with complex medical needs, including G-tubes, seizure disorders, developmental delays, and respiratory conditions. I also have a background in Early Childhood Development, allowing me to support children's physical, emotional, and developmental growth. I have extensive experience in long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, providing compassionate care to older adults with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, stroke recovery, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. I am CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, patient, and committed to delivering safe, respectful, and compassionate care while building trusting relationships with patients and families.
