I have 2 children of my own, ages 9 and 5. The youngest has special needs and she is in need of constant care, so I am very aware of the medical field, giving medications, and pretty much dealing with any situation thrown at me. I am pretty much a nurse without the degree. I love kids and I'm very good with them as well.
