Cathy’s Bio

I am retired from driving school bus. It became too stressful. I came from a large family. I am the second born in a family of seven children. I was babysitting for families in the neighborhood. I took my young siblings everywhere. When Mom and Dad had issues with short term memory, I moved home to care for them. I also have described myself as a "rescuer of animals". I have raised newborn bunnies, a sparrow that fell out of a nest, and feral kittens that were abandoned. I am a nurturer. I am more than qualified.
