As an Aunt to 23 nieces and nephews and as a health care provider I have been exposed and worked with many children and adults with many different needs and various situations. i have had to watch and treat children with special needs, and understand the love, energy and care that is involved in watching a child. and from my previous experience in the medical field, the same energy and understanding goes into being a companion to any living organism. I have 4 degrees (2 bachelors and 2 graduate) and as a source of income over the yearsI have baby-sat for professors, classmates and church members children and parents. I have also house sat, and cared for animals as a source of income as well.
