I work as a child nutritionist with 4 years of experienced. I have got a child nutrition dipoloma from COE. I hold on online workshops about starting babies foods and picky eating so I mostly work on online platforms like instagram and websites. I am responsible for supporting parents about two months after the workshop and help them out to manage their child behavior during the meal time. My work is not a monotonous and boring job however It,s kind of motivating job. It is also lucrative and well-paid. I am perseverant , punctual and reliable. so I think I will climb up the ladder and make a name for myself soon.
