I have always loved children and have 2 grown young women of my own. I started babysitting at 12 years of age and to this day I babysit for my daughter's friends on weekend nights so they can have a well~deserved break. I enjoy reading books to children, even infants, and taking them for walks & to the park. I also enjoy interacting with pets and take my dogs & others to local dog parks (I have 3 Boxers, a miniature schnauzer and 3 cats) 3 years ago I completed a CPR certification, and I won the SELPA award for including disabled children in my educational activities
