I am a retired elementary school teacher with a dual bachelor's degree in elementary and special education along with a masters in education. I have recently moved to Magnolia to live closer to family. I am interested in utilizing my experience working with children and my strong understanding of the developmental needs of children to support working families with safe and consistent care for their children. Nurturing is in my nature. In addition I've spent the last 18 years as a foster and rescuer for No-Kill shelters and animal rescue organizations in Missouri and Montana. I fostered around 100 cats, kittens and pregnant moms per year providing care, socialization, and bottle feeding orphans. Most recently I volunteered for Crow Wildlife Rehab on Sanibel Island in Florida for 2 years hand-feeding baby birds and injured animals along with round the clock bottle feeding of squirrels, raccoons, and even a few skunks. Read more I share my home with 4 blind cats, a 3-legged sassy cat, and 1 deaf cat who is the resident trouble maker.
