Hi I’m Natalie, I’m 20 years old and I’m an EMT in the Air Force reserves. I’ve been in the reserves for 2 years and am currently studying Nursing at Bradley University. I am EMT, CNA, and BLS certified. I also have worked as a live-in CNA in senior living homes for 2 years and have helped with daily activities of living such as bathing, bathroom duties, eating, dressing, and light housekeeping and cooking. I also am a proud owner of 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 turtles and am experienced with taking care of pets. I am a very enthusiastic person and am a quick learner. I am recently more interested in getting more experience with working with children of all ages since I hope to one day become a pediatric nurse.
