Hello, I began caring for children at age 13 and have been a caregiver in some form or fashion ever since. I have been a stay-at-home mother for the past 14 years with four children. My brood consists of a 19-year-old in college, a 13-year-old high function ASD child, and a 11-year-old boy/girl twins. They may have given me a few white hairs, but are my treasures. Well mannered, bright and sweet natured each of them. Having devoted my adult life to mothering, I find myself adrift now that my wee ones are in big kid school. I truly miss chatting and silly stories, cuddles and reading. I've loads of experience with medication administering and general 'boo-boo' repair. I am an awesome Dr. Mom. My 13-year-old child has had developmental delays her whole life (speech delay, motor apraxia, sensory issues, central processing disorder etc.), which has taught me much about Read more patience and the joy that can be found in little successes. I would not consider myself an educator other than simple life lessons to be found in play, cooking or sock matching. I am gentle in nature and speech. In my free time, I am an avid reader. I live in a home full of bibliophiles. Periodically, I will decorate a cake and attempt crafts of various sorts.
