A little bit about me

I am currently a student at Howard University pursuing my degree with the goal of becoming a mother-baby nurse. My passion for caring for infants and children has grown from years of hands-on experience. I have been babysitting for families in my community for several years, providing a safe, nurturing, and reliable environment for children of different ages. In addition, I worked as a summer camp counselor, supervising and engaging with children ages three to eleven. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with young children, manage responsibilities, and develop the patience and compassion essential in nursing.
