I'm a very seasoned mother of 3. I have 2 adult children and 1 middle school child. I ran a daycare center for over 10 years. I have experience with asthma, seizures, allergies, ADHD, dyslexia, dealing with health issues isn't a problem. I've had to do CPR on one of my children so I can stay calm in any crisis. I also cared for my aging mother for over 10 years. I did take child development and behavior classes in college but dealing with my own children's issues have taught me the most. All of my children have ADHD and 1 is dyslexic and my youngest has anxiety disorder as well. I love to play games with kids, love doing crafts, and playing outdoors. My youngest and I love to take walks and be out in nature. Between running the daycare and raising my own children I can handle most Read more things that come up. I do have a part time job but if your wiling to work with me I'm willing to work with you. I have my own transportation and a clean driving record.
