A little bit about me

I just graduated from college with my bachelors of science in biomedical science. I have decided to take a gap year in between med school, and being that I'd like to become a pediatrician, I wanted to spend my free time with children! I have been babysitting for over 10 years, and have experience with children ranging from the age of 2 to 13. I also am CPR certified! I hope to hear from you soon!
