I am a mother to two children, a daughter who is 17 years old and a son who is now 14 years old. I have worked at various childcare centers, public school districts for a long time. At my last job, I was a teacher assistant and helped take care of special needs children- worked for the Putnam City School District. I am a volunteer at my church and take care of kids ranging from infants through the fourth grade on Wednesday evenings and on Sundays. I love children and although I have had other kinds of jobs besides taking care of children, I always wind up going back to childcare jobs because that is where my heart is. I have my First Aid and CPR cards, but they expired in August and September of last year. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education, Physical Education, and Read more Safety that I received from Southern Nazarene University.
