Cameron saw me in a little distress and sat down in my room on my level, asked for permission before hand with everything, and was so gentle .
I was feeling really low and down the first couple of days due to having to get back in the hang of having a newborn. I wasn’t burping my baby right, and I wasn’t fully informed of his test results. Sadness was taking over me, and I felt as if I wasn’t being a good mother. Cameron saw me in a little distress and sat down in my room on my level, asked for permission beforehand with everything, and was so gentle. He actually took my baby (with my permission) and carefully explain to me as he was demonstrating on how to burp my son. That gave me so much relief. I never felt like he judged me in any way. He was there to help my spouse and me, for which we are entirely grateful. He also sat down and broke down my son's test that they were doing that I didn’t fully understand. One thing that I loved as well was that he was my nurse for my daughter when she was born back in 2022. I remember he came in when I had her, and he was just a ray of sunshine. Being a first-time mother then, I was so scared, and Cam explained to us how he was new, and this was his first day, and we were his first patients. Man, oh man, I thought he worked there forever, and I was so comforted by how he made my spouse and me feel. He met both of our needs as well as the baby. But one thing he always did was make sure I was okay. I couldn’t thank him enough. I believe Cam should be awarded due to his kindness. He doesn’t put on a fake smile; everything is so genuine, and you can tell he actually loves his job.
