A little bit about me

I am currently a first semester nursing student at CSUSB (Palm desert campus). When I graduate, I hope to be a Labor and Delivery nurse or work in the NICU. I currently attend class Tuesday through Thursday. Being around kids brings me joy because they have a spark about life that is refreshing and fun to be around. I do not have any experience with being a babysitter/nanny but would love to start. I do have almost 4 years of experience working at Cinemark, the movie theater. It was my first job I got at 16. I am 20 now and I still work there, I love it. I am however, looking to expand my skills and communication and get some experience working with kids.

A little bit about me

Hi! I am currently a college student, short term, I'm a biology major but long term I hope to get an MD. I used to live in Idyllwild where I babysat a few different kiddos. The youngest was about 8 months and the eldest was 11 when I stared. I have one family in particular who I have babysat intermittently for starting when the little girl was 2 (dependent on need regarding their work schedule) The little girl is now 8. I believe it takes a village and I love and feel protective of all kiddos and animals in particular. I am used to dealing with kids who may be defiant as I was myself when I was younger.
