I am a proud mom of four children whom I raised on my own. They are now grown, adults. At the age of 9, I was my mom's helper taking care of 18 children over a 10-year period, newborn to 16 years of age. I enjoy children, arts, crafts, music & dance. Originally from New York, I attended Art College at the age of 14. Graduated from a Vocational high school on Long Island. I am a graduate of Briarcliffe Business School. I now attend the College of Southern Maryland (CSM). I've worked in Washington, DC as an Admin Asst to the Inspector General. After the birth of my first child, I went back to work for the Department of Defense (DoD) at Fort Meade during Desert Storm. After my second child, I became a stay-at-home mom & had four children in six, and a half years, whom I raised Read more on my own. Presently, I hope to find a family that can utilize my experience and that I can assist in Infant/Child Care, Senior Care, Housekeeping, Cooking, Home Decorating & Organizing. I have a background check, driving record, references, updated with all shots (letter), and a BLS Provider CPR/AED Basic Life Support Program certification. My hourly wage will depend on my job responsibilities with the family.

Debbie O was a joy to work with! Very affordable, communicative, and efficient. I needed someone to help me sort through a closet that had gotten out of hand and she was a rockstar. She showed up early and we powered through the work a lot more quickly than I anticipated. I look forward to working with her more in the future.
