Jobs and Dreams

One of my best friends called me this morning and told me about a job that sounded perfectly fit for me. Here's some information about it.

Child Life Professionals

Child life specialists are experts in child development, who promote effective coping through play, preparation, education, and self-expression activities. They provide emotional support for families, and encourage optimum development of children facing a broad range of challenging experiences, particularly those related to healthcare and hospitalization. Understanding that a child’s wellbeing depends on the support of the family, child life specialists provide information, support and guidance to parents, siblings, and other family members. They also play a vital role in educating caregivers, administrators, and the general public about the needs of children under stress.

I've been wanting to go back to college either this fall or next spring, depending on when my residency gets established. I've been wanting to do a job with children. I wouldn't mind teaching, but I hate how it seems like a burearcy (sorry about the wrong spelling) and a game. This seems like something I could be interested in. Of course, it'll take lots of research, but I like the sound of it so far!!!

And I'm looking into ways to have an allergy-sensitive bakery on-line. It sounds ridiculous, but I think I really can make it work. I'm researching this week. I have a friend who sells things on-line, and I think she could help me lots. How cool would it be to have a bakery called: Kriketta's The Every Allergy Bakery You name it, and I'll do my best to make it for you. lol As I said, I'm still trying to figure it all out. But keep an eye out on it! Here comes Kristie into the real world!!!
