Hello,
My name is Melissa. I am currently finishing my last year in occupational therapy master’s program at Towson University. I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 2:00-6:15 or later as needed. I would like to work with children with developmental disabilities after graduation and feel that working with Maggie’s light is a great way to gain more experience. I have completed physical dysfunction clinical at Good Samaritan Inpatient Rehab for 3 months as well as an internship with PACT – early intervention clinic. I have reliable transportation and live 5 minutes from Towson. My phone number is 410 458 6006. My email is mmille49@students.towson.edu

Hi, my name is Danielle Curry and I just recently graduated from Harrisburg Area Community College with my nursing degree and just moved to Towson. I am currently studying for my state boards and I am interested in temporary work until I find my permanent nursing job. Depending on the hours I would like to continue working with this organization as my schedule permits. Right now I am pretty much available any day, any time. I have a lot of experience with children which includes working at Small Steps Daycare School in York, PA for 4 years and I have been babysitting for 2 families for 4-5+ years on a pretty regular basis. I have also babysat for many other families on a more part time basis. I am CPR certified as well as my nursing skills, good work ethic and most important, compassion I have learned throughout my nursing education. If you would like to learn more about me or see a copy of my resume or references, my email is danic1228@aol.com. Feel free to email with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to hearing from you and learning more about Paz and your family!

Hello, my name is Alison Keenan. I just finished my first semester of the nursing program at Towson University. I recently applied for my CNA (certified nursing assistant) license and should be getting it within the next month. I am CPR and first aid certified. Over the past three summers I have worked as a life guard in Southern Maryland. This summer I am looking for a job more related to nursing so I stayed in Towson and I live only 5 minutes away from the university. I would love to gain more experience working with and caring for people with all types of conditions and of all ages. I began babysitting when I was about 12 years old and have cared for a range of ages from 1 year olds to 16 year olds. Since the semester just ended my schedule has become very open and flexible. Please feel free to contact me. My email address is akeena2@students.towson.edu. I am interested in learning more about your child and your family. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Leslie and Russ- Hello! I hope you remember me…. This is Jessica Mollard; I used to occasionally watch Paz and Rebecca years ago when I was still a TU student myself :) Now I am a special educator in Montgomery County (8 years now). I saw your post and had to reply! I cant believe Rebecca is 10 and Paz is 15. They must be such beautiful girls.
