Lisa’s Bio

I am the mom of 4 biological kids and 4 stepkids! All of my kids (27,27,28 ,31 yrs) are college grads + living successfully in NYC or DC area. I managed to have 4 kids in 4 years (twins!), raising them full-time and running a couple of home businesses at once. I am energetic, organized and natural teacher. I also taught school in DC area, in state of MD. Thsee experiences were useful when I gained another 4, my steps who I've helped parent (including 15 yr old twins!) over the last 8 yrs. It's peaceful at home with my husband and cats. Recently certified CNA, I've been employed for the last year as a caregiver for three local companies, including working for TN with DIDD waivers (Developmental Disabilities). One such challenged case was recently completed, opening up a huge portion of my schedule. I am trying to optimize options and attempt a better compensation package for the excellent performance I deliver, with patience, compassion, skill and various life experiences. Recertification CPR and life saving cert. Love all music, reading and interior decorating and being active outdoors. Résumé and excellent referenceS available upon request

I am a holistic nutrition advocate, love to garden and cook. I love animals and have found them to be wonderful comfort to recent caregiving cases. I am learning that horses are particularly theraputic, and am currently learning basic horse care and groo
