A little bit about me

Hello everyone!

My name is Eve and I am currently attending college for my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing(BSN).

I believe childhood is the most important period for development. I’d love to play a part and support children through this period in their life.

While my two years of hospital experience as a Patient Support Assistant have primarily been with older adults, it’s allowed me to exercise empathy and patience in stressful situations. Also teaching me the importance of being vigilant band prioritizing safety. I’m also a certified Basic Life Support provider.

Beyond my medical background, I have plenty of experience caring for my younger cousins and family members. I am excited to help your family while gaining hands on experiences as I work towards becoming a Pediatric Nurse!
