Hello, my name is Bethany. I am 29 years old. I have been working in this field for 10+ years on and off. It started with me helping my cousin out whom has cerebral palsy, on the weekends/ summer break at the age of 13. It didn't feel like a job to me because she was my favorite cousins and also my friend. knew as I got older this was my calling. I love working with children "I was a pre k assistant teacher once" and the elderly. I'm at peace here and I love being able to help others and just to cheer them up or being someone they can just talk to daily. Just recently I wanted to get more involved in this career path. I took a 9 month medical assistant program and I am looking to get more credentials, such as my med technician certification next. In the future I am hoping I will get enough courage to go back to school, to become a registered nurse.
