I embark on a new career path, yet with a lifetime of experience. From baby sitting as a teen, to obtaining my social work degree, to working in schools, and to most importantly raising two children who are now wonderful human beings, I have decided to do what is most meaningful. After many years in the business world, I am going back to the basics and the things that matter most. There are many ways to positively contribute to the world, but few as important as being a positive influence in a child's life. That makes an everlasting print. I can share myself with you and your family. I can care for infants and school age children. We can play and learn together. So exciting, is the fact that I am a new Grandma. It reawakened the feelings of how a simple walk in the park can be so full Read more of exploring, discovering, learning, colors, and fun. I know the importance of a parent needing someone who is dependable. With that you also need peace of mind, loyalty, good ethics, commonsense, safety, humor and compassion. I have that to give so that when you are not at home with your child you will feel secure knowing that they are well taken care of. I can pick them up from school and take them to appointments if needed. I can make them snacks too. Whatever it is that your child or children need, I can provide it. I am eager and enthusiastic to join your family. I have been happily married for 32 years, enjoy the outdoors, movies, good books, hikes and love all nature.
