Chinyere A.     Age 41      Female      Chicago, IL  - Western & Lawrence   Member ID: 10584  Seeking work as a : Caregiver / Companion or Personal Support Worker  Position Type: Live-Out, Part Time      Join now for access this candidate's contact details       About Me   Hi there. I have a masters in maternal and child health and currently employed full time in public health; I am also a licensed practical nurse and CPR certified. I really enjoy working with children and youth. During my Peace Corps service, I worked a lot with this population in activities ranging from conducting after-school workshops to teaching in a high school to organizing talent/variety shows. In undergrad, I participated in a Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Being in a position to contribute positively to the life of a young person is, in my view, a great opportunity and responsibility. I am looking for a part time job and babysitting appeals to me. I babysat throughout high school (long time ago. ) and have a few nephews and nieces now ranging from 1yo to 15yo. I believe you'll find me an honest, kind, and reliable person. I will provide references at your request.
