Empty nest, full heart!!! I am 55 years young whose children are grown, and am missing the commotion of a full house! My two eldest boys are 25 and 23 years old, both of whom have graduated from college and are on their own. My youngest is a 21 year old girl who will be a senior in college. I was a stay-at-home mom for over 20 years and have loved and nurtured my children throughout all of their growth experiences — the good, the bad, the ugly — from stitches to broken bones to surgeries to extracurricular activities to awards. I've been there for them for all the ups and downs, and wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world! I love kids and this is evidenced by the fact that I was active in all their activities at every level of schooling possible. I spent seven years at Read more the high school level as the marching band coordinator. I actually created this position so that the band director could focus on the musical aspect of the program while I took care of all the other functions including, but not limited to accounting, coordination of home and away camps, and recruiting, scheduling and managing volunteers for the 100+ students in every facet of the program. As to my training and certification, I am neither trained nor certified as a nanny, yet feel that my experience speaks for itself. As well, I am an educated woman with an advanced college degree who can bring both “motherly” as well as worldly experience to your children and home, and feel that I will enhance and embellish upon what you, as a parent, want for your own children. If what I’ve said still has you wondering why I’d be great for your family, consider this: I’ve been a consummate volunteer from the time my children were in Montessori until my daughter graduated from high school. I have chaired various fundraisers for the school district, all the while not dropping the ball on my household managerial duties. I have extreme organizational and time management skills, including juggling a part time job while my children attended three different schools with different schedules. I have always been of the mantra never to ask anyone to do something you wouldn't do yourself, and there’s virtually nothing that I wouldn’t do. So, when I say empty nest, full heart, I fully mean it!
