About me
I have been a CNA for many years, during this time I have worked for acute care, Home care, Hospice, I have worked to support young and old with health struggles.. When I needed a break from the hospital, I was able to get a few Nanny jobs. I truly loved every minute seeing them grow up. I have supplemented my income as a Nanny for several families. (References available upon request.) in recent years I have wanted to see how other area of medicine are supported including a recent education as a Postpartum Doula, Birth Doula courses helping to support the family and a newborn as they begin life. I love what I do and am excited to be considered for a postpartum Doula position as I grow into another area of medicine and apply my recent learning to bring humans into the world. I have a vast history of experience.
