Joy of Caring for Kids

Jes­si­ca Booz­er​’s jour­ney into health­care was dri­ven by a gen­uine desire to make a pos­i­tive impact on oth­ers. She found her call­ing in the field of pedi­atrics, where she works today as a nurse prac­ti­tion­er at the Quin­cy Med­ical Group Pitts­field Clinic. 

“I became a nurse prac­ti­tion­er because I love work­ing with peo­ple and enjoy being a part in their heal­ing and well­ness jour­ney,” she shared. 

One of the most reward­ing aspects of her career has been work­ing with children.

“See­ing my kid­dos smile and light up when talk­ing to them brings me so much joy,” Jes­si­ca said.” A hug and/​or smile from one of your patients can make any bad day bet­ter again. I’m also amazed at how resilient chil­dren can be. I learn some­thing new from them every day.”

Jes­si­ca’s love for pedi­atrics began ear­ly in her career, when she worked in a day­care while in college. 

“I’ve always loved work­ing with chil­dren. I worked at a day­care in under­grad. When the posi­tion to work in pedi­atrics came up, I could­n’t pass it up,” she said. 

At our Pitts­field clin­ic, Jes­si­ca cares for patients in both pedi­atrics and the QMG Now, address­ing a wide range of med­ical needs. 

For those con­sid­er­ing a career in advanced prac­tice, Jes­si­ca offers this advice: ​“If you have the desire in your heart to want to fur­ther your career, are will­ing to work hard, are inter­est­ed in con­stant­ly learn­ing and wish to pur­sue addi­tion­al respon­si­bil­i­ty and oppor­tu­ni­ties, do it! It’s hard but is also so rewarding.”
