Hello parents. I am a widowed mother of two that has been caring for children my whole life. I began babysitting for wages in 1994 and has been consistantly ever since. I have CPR and First Aid certifications, I am a Certified Foster parent, I have Stewards of Children training, as well as some child development courses under my belt. I have an associate's degree in Sociology and are 2 classes away from a bachelors. I am also working towards a bachelor's in social work. Children are my passion and are our future. I enjoy reading to them, Nurturing them, and using every experience as a teaching tool. I don't mind teaching the hard lessons. I have often been called the last big moma. Sort of like the glue that keeps everything together when things are in chaos.
