I am 47 years ol. Mother of 3 adult daughters, and I have 1 6 yr old grandson. My youngest child will be going to college so i guess you can say I have a empty nest. I have spent my life from age 15 working at the YMCA teaching gymnastics to working with trouble youth in group homes and teaching science . I also worked fir CASA ( court appointed special advocate) . I WAS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR. I was a GAL, and also ran the supervised visitation program. I guess you can say that i love children, and hold their saftey and personal growth close to my heart. In 2005 I made the dessions to stay home and get more involved with their schools. I did allot of volunteering and that lead to me working at Montour High school. I was a Aid for a special needs child. Read more It worked out cayse both myself and my children where on the same page. I would like to find a family that could use my knowledge and experience in tending , teaching, and creating little people. I believe in being honest. And hope the family I work for is honest with me. If i dont know im doing something work, then I cant fix it. I like the a open policy. I know that takes time for some. But hope in time we can reach that.
