Hi there! I'm Mara! I am starting nursing school in the fall, and I am so excited to learn more to enhance my skills of caregiving. I grew up in a medical home with two nursing parents, and I've been babysitting for 8 years (it is a bit of an age difference, but most of my clients had special needs). I enjoy helping people and being a friend to those who may be forgotten from time to time by the rest of society as well as getting to know and learn from these people. My personal achievement that I am proud of is that I was one of the first Blue Diamonds at my current job because I took my lunch break to buy a patient clothes for when he left the hospital since his were soiled. I did not do it for recognition, but it was very cool to be one of the inaugural blue diamonds!
