Barbara’s Bio

I have over ten years experience with Children with disabilities. Also with Seniors needing long-term, rehab, and home care. I have assisted with home care for a variety of ages requiring various needs. I am CPR certified. I also have been certified in home health care. My most recent certification was as an activity director. I have volunteered with the Special Olympics for many years. I have been an assistant teacher for grades K - 6. I also worked with the Park Department during the summer months with a kids program doing a variety of activities and outings. I am used to having a flexible schedule. I have three children that are all married, and have been blessed with six grandchildren. I have been married for 24 years. I enjoy a large variety of music and movies, and enjoy spending time outdoors. My husband and I moved to this area from Indiana due to relocation with his job. I look forward to hearing from you.
