Find an after school nanny in Hamden, CT

I'm originally native to Fort Lauderdale, FL, where I lived with my single mother. She's been a teacher for 18 years now, having taught and looked after children as young as newborns and as old as middle school. This naturally transitioned into caring for these children outside of school hours - and when she acquired a second job, she passed these babysitting and tutoring opportunities on to me, whom the parents had come to know and trust. All throughout my teens I've cared for and tutored a revolving door of children of all ages. As soon as I entered high-school, I began to work for summer and winter camps as a co-counselor, loving the trips and the events and how every day felt like an adventure. I then graduated high-school and moved to New Haven, CT to pursue my scientific passions at Yale University, where I majored in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. It was at Yale that I discovered a deep love of medicine, and more than that, of helping people and seeing the change one person can make in the life of another. On my summers off, though, I continued to assume the role of a mentor and counselor during Yale Summer Session, becoming a resource for students both younger and older than myself. I've worked and volunteered in many positions relating to science, healthcare, and wellness, all with the goal of one day entering the field of medicine. I've helped treat and educate patients of all ages, old and young, working to make healthcare and medical services available to all. Having recently graduated, I'm now working towards becoming certified as a CNA and EMT, so that I might explore the extremely diverse roles in healthcare, and gain a better understanding of what kind of role I'd like to eventually pursue. In my training for both, I've done many clinical rotations in both nursing homes and ambulances, getting a hands-on feel for both day-to-day care and emergency situations - skills that have translated well into caring for others.
