Hi! My name is becca and I am a 23 year incoming first year medical student. I have been babysitting since I was 10, starting with my youngest brother being born, and continued watching toddlers and school aged children throughout high school and college over weekends and summers. I love engaging in games and crafts, and can help out with meals and clean up. I myself have a 2 year old French bulldog, giving me much experience and care in high maintenance dogs. Before starting medical school, I have had jobs as a Certified Nurse Assistant on a cardiology and observation floor, college biology and chemistry tutor, clinical volunteer for senior patients, and participated in clinical research with a focus on pregnancy. Currently I am a medical assistant at a dermatology clinic.
