I have CNA certification, and have been trained in CPR and AED through the American Heart Association. I have worked most recently with the elderly in both a nursing home and assisted living. Several years ago I worked in a day care facility, I have also had a home day care. Through the years I have taken care of friend's children. In between these two phases of my life I raised two boys of my own. My youngest son had Down Syndrome and Autism, so I feel I have the ability care for children with disabilities. I also feel that raising my son has given me the ability to tune in to all children who may be at a stage where their communication and physical skills are still developing. I enjoy doing crafts, reading and playing outside. I also enjoy making toys and games from things you can find at Read more home, or from inexpensive items that can be found at dollar stores. PS. Please do not text.
