A little bit about me

Hello! I am a 24 year old female who has been working in medicine the past few years. I have recently been accepted to physician assistant school and want to take advantage of the time I have left before beginning. I love children and grew up babysitting. I have been a nanny for about 3 years and provided childcare, tutoring and housework.
