Hello, I am Adriana<\/b>, 48 years old and mother of three boys aged 24, 22 and 20. I was born in <\/span>Colombia<\/b> and <\/span>adopted<\/b> when I was six by two very sweet Dutch parents. Around the age of eight, I already knew I wanted to become a <\/span>maternity nurse<\/b><\/a> later on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I got through my mavo education quite well and then moved on to <\/span>mbo<\/b>. There, I took a three-year course to become a <\/span>caregiver IH <\/b>(<\/span>verzorgende IG<\/span><\/i>). Although maternity care was part of the curriculum, I started my career in <\/span>elderly<\/b> and <\/span>disabled care<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How I started as a maternity nurse<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After my <\/span>first pregnancy<\/b>, I decided to stay at home and take care of my child. In the years that followed, <\/span>two more sweet boys<\/b> arrived. Only from the age of 30 did I have the time and opportunity to focus on self-development. I then applied to various <\/span>maternity agencies<\/b>. That is sixteen years ago now.<\/span><\/p>\n

I still enjoy going to work each and every day. What I like in particular, is getting to know a <\/span>family<\/b> and figuring out what the family members\u2019 needs are in a rather short time. Together, we determine what type of care is needed and, assisted by a <\/span>midwife<\/b> or <\/span>lactation<\/b> expert<\/b><\/a>, we take the step towards the best possible outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Besides my work, I have several hobbies. Those include <\/span>reading<\/b>, listening to music, <\/span>dancing<\/b>, taking photos, going out with my boys and <\/span>hiking<\/b>. Especially the latter, I do on a regular basis. In 2016 and 2018, I participated in and actually finished the entire <\/span>Nijmegen Four-Day Walk <\/b>(<\/span>Nijmeegse vierdaagse<\/span><\/i>). Throughout the year, I walk whenever I have the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both times, I walked not only for myself, but also for a charity that ties in well with my work: <\/span>Stichting<\/b> Babyspullen<\/b>. That organisation makes packages from <\/span>donated baby products<\/b> and distributes them to people who are struggling financially. That way, they can provide their children with good products and, of course, a <\/span>good start<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
