About Me:
I have always known growing up,that I wanted to be a nurse, so here I am still loving my career after all these years. I started college at UB,before I graduated from high school...(thanks Dad!!!!) and was the youngest nurse to work in the ER at E.C.M.C. in Buff. It was there that I was given the nickname Babycakes by the staff,hence the e-mail name "Babycakes0927"!! I practically grew up in a Firehouse,coming from a family of Firemen such as, my Dad, 2 Uncles,a Grandfather and several cousins, with the oddball Cop here and there...LOL...so helping people is all I have ever know. I am married to a most wonderful man (a Cop...LOL)who keeps me grounded and takes care of me......and we have 4 terrific kids. Our oldest is out on her own, 2 are still in High School and one is an angel in heaven. I love the calming sounds of the beach and camping in the mountains and sitting around the fire at night...living here in Nor Cal, I am fortunate enough to be able to be at the beach in the morning and 2 hours later be in the mountains,enjoying the campfires. God has been good to me
Relationship Status:
Married
Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I like to fix people. I like the challenge of treating critically ill patients, an knowing that my skills,knowledge and compassion made a difference in someone's life. OK....I like the Adrenaline rush, too....LOL
Welcome aboard. Hope you join our cause as we help children and firefighters in need around the world in tribute to my fallen brothers who served by my side at Ground Zero... God bless....
