About Geralyn

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'd describe my personality as logical, thoughtful, persistent and helpful. I enjoy helping others with tasks and can keep calm under pressure and great stress. I started working with kids when I was young as I was depended upon my parents to care for my cousins, brothers and sisters. In my spare time, I like to read, listen to music and paint. One thing you should know about me is I have been in patient care (in the dental setting) for 13+ years comforting children and walking them through what can be a very scary and unknown experience of going to the dentist. I help kids learn to trust and be comfortable receiving care. My skills include playfulness, encouragement, and patience.
