I am a 57 year old married woman. I absolutely adore spending time with children. I'm a very hands on , playful, not afraid to get dirty , down to earth person. I studied early childhood education & special education. I worked in day care & after school care for many years in New Jersey. I also ran my own in home day care specializing in abused Foster children. I raised my own two sons, one with special needs on my own. Most recently I took care of my now 12 year grandson 4 days a week from when he was a year old. When he entered school picked him up afterward to help with homework, projects & to spend quality time with him. Now that he is older & comes over less often I have plenty of time, attention & care to give.
