Hi parents, My name is Roma and I love babysitting/dog sitting. I believe it’s important to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I have a big family and they’ve instilled important values and professional work ethics on me. I work in the medical field as a pharmacy technician. It’s a rewarding experience as I keep in touch with my patients occasionally , as you build long-lasting relationships throughout the months and sometimes years! I volunteer, as well through CERT. It’s an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. We prepare/train fellow community members in what to do incase there is an emergency life-threatening situation. As you can see..I like to stay busy and keep my mind sharp. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon and hopefully building fun memories :]
