A little bit about me

I’m just graduating high school, but have been a camp counselor for kids K-6 for the last two years during the summer. Kids are what inspired me to go down the Nursing major! I love to hear their stories and have fun! I’ve watched my two nephews for the last couple of years, ages 2&7. Camp and my nephews is where I found my love for caring for children! I am CPR certified and am willing to get certified in other things as well to accommodate your family. This would only be for the summer, since I was to continue my nursing major in college.
