A little bit about me

I have many years of volunteer experience, raising children and helping to take care of children, both in Church ministries and in my own home. I also have work experience as an emergency medical technician, and I am still technically certified as such so I I’m fully capable of remaining calm and professional during potential pediatric emergency situations. I have been CPR certified in the past multiple times but my CPR Certification has expired. However my Emergency Medical Technician certification is still valid.
