A little bit about me

Hi my name is Jacinda. I’m from Virginia originally where my love for caring for others stemmed from watching my mother through her years of nursing . I started to babysit a variety of children from different backgrounds and areas. In 2017 I completed a certified nurse aid program in hopes to one day become a pediatrics nurse. I began working shortly after at a senior residential home working with residents who needed either minimal care or complete total care . To say the least that was one of my most inspirational and uplifting jobs prior to joining the armed forces.
