I am a college graduate with a degree in Fine Art and Graphic Design. Mom of one lovely adult woman. Since 2009 I have been operating an online stationery and art store, experience in event/party planning as well. In addition, the last 4 years I have worked in health care. I am looking for a change from the health care field to be more hands on and back to what I love doing. I can offer you an experienced level of care for your loved ones. I can also bring educational fun, arts and crafts and outdoor play for kids. I have experience with dementia and Alzheimer's and children with developmental disabilities. I have been gluten free for over 20 years and love to bake and cook. Special diets, food allergies and vegan cooking are something I am very familiar with. I love animals and have an adorable senior Jack Read more Russell . I am allergic to cats so unfortunately this may be an issue. I am open to full time positions, part time (set hours) date night and occasional overnight stays. Thank you for your consideration. Gretchen
