I have been a teacher for 22 years, however my experience with children started even before that, I baby sat for neighbors and friends at 12 and 13, I would often go to friend's housees to play with their little siblings. When my sister had twins, I almost never left her house and I watched them at night when she went back to work and I was 14. While I am older, and have three beautiful children that are almost grown and leaving the nest. We decided to do foster care for a bit, because we are not ready to retire, and having an empty home sounds to lonely. We now have two more children joining our family. I am CPR and First Aid Certified, I have an Elementary Education Degree, Master's in Library Science and an Endorsement in Special Education. I love pets so animals are not an issues,
