- Comfortable with pets

My first job was being a babysitter, at only 14 years old. I quickly earned the job as the go-to person for 3 different families. Even when I got a full time job in the cooperate world, and while attending nursing school, I still found myself helping families on a part time, as needed basis. I love being outdoors, and have turned my passion for creating jewelry/arts/crafts into a small business that I am very successful at. I have not been blessed with children of my own YET, but I do have the most amazing 3 year old niece who holds my heart & soul in the palm of her hands. I am currently looking for a new side job so that I can return to school & finish my degree.
