I am the mother of a bubbly baby boy. I love animals and have 5 fur babies. When I have the time I love crafting, baking and organizing. To relax I clean, it clears my mind. Until recently I was working toward completing my nursing degree which is unfortunately on hold for now. I am one of 6 children so I’ve somewhat been babysitting my whole life. I began babysitting for non family when I was 11 years old and my first official job was as a Mother’s Aid when I was 15 years old. I have cared for children from birth to age 23. I have experience with a variety of childhood illnesses/ailments including asthma, learning disability’s and allergies. I have a food allergy myself so I am very familiar with the importance of proper food handling. After meeting my husband as a teenager I began caring for his Read more great grandmother. I cared for her until her passing at age 99 and honestly she was one of my best friends. In addition to basic child and elder care I have experience with cancer care and wound care.
