Description:I would be more than willing to help out around the House & Yard and with any type of Childcare, Elderly Care, Pet Care, etc, etc.... as I am very experienced and multi skilled in many areas. In addition I would also offer my healthcare and fitness services at no cost.

In addition to having a healthcare and fitness background I am also desparately trying to move forward with my life so I can return to my long term educational goal of becoming either a Physician or a Rehab(PT, OT or SLP) Therapist. I am a non-traditional student who has completed 70 Semester hour credits while pursuing an Exercise Science/Pre-Med/Pre-Therapy BS degree. On many occasions I put my career pursuits and schooling on hold to help others.

I lead a very healthy and preventative medicine lifestyle. I participate in fitness and sports related activities on a regular basis and I eat healthy & nutritious meals. Smoking and drug use would be contradictory to my lifestyle although I do on rare occasion consume a small amount of alcohol as even small amounts are actually good for heart function.
In addition I am honest, sincere, friendly and believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated. I also believe that laughter is the best medicine in enhancing one's immune system.

If anyone could assist me with my request it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much for your time and consideration!
