About Athena

I'm a Public Health & Psychology dual major on the Accelerated Nursing track at Wayne State University, hoping to work in pediatric oncology. I have been working with children since I was 11, for 6 years as a volunteer in an elementary classroom, and as a paid babysitter since I was 15. I've worked with many ages, from 2 months old to 9 years old, and with many needs, such as autism, illnesses, physical disabilities, and hyperactivity. I also have three years of paid medical experience, as a patient care technician (CNA) on an oncology & end of life care unit, as a patient ambassador in the emergency room, and as an emergency medical technician (EMT) on an ambulance. I hold a current EMT license, in addition to CPR, First Aid, and Babysitting through the American Heart Association and Red Cross. I'm also able to help around the house with chores/errands or pets, as well as care for children. I enjoy cleaning, organizing, crafts/painting, animals, and baking.
