Hey! I’m April and I am currently a student nurse hoping to specialize in pediatrics to pursue my passion for working with kids! I am a certified Basic Life Support and CPR provider under the American Heart Association. I typically book directly with families outside of this app to build personal relationships, and I will gladly provide references upon request! I’m very patient and adaptable to situations due to all of my experience listed below :) Experience 🏅 - 1 year volunteering with special needs classes - 3 years working at an after-school program where I took care of up to 20 children and created several fun activities (physical, educational, and artsy!) - 2 years working as a teacher’s assistant where I assisted in children’s education and supervising them - 2 years babysitting infants If you’d like to get to know me better or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
“April is fantastic with children. She is especially helpful with my 15-month-old when it comes to date nights. She is also a great communicator and I would definitely recommend her to other parents out there. Our family truly appreciates her.”
