She says, “Time to help people feel better!” That’s what she does every day.

At work, Mom sees lots of people.

She checks them in, takes their temperatures, and even asks how they’re feeling.

Sometimes, she wraps a cuff around their arm and listens closely.
“Your blood pressure looks great!” she says with a nod.
She’s like a detective, solving little health puzzles.

Mom works with the doctor, too.
She gets things ready, takes notes, and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
“She’s my right-hand helper,” the doctor always says.

Some patients feel nervous, like Sarah, who’s scared of getting a shot.
“Don’t worry,” Mom says softly, “I’ll be right here with you.”
And just like that, Sarah is brave enough to try.
