Hi, my name is Chrissy, and I am 46 years old. I live on the East Side of Providence, and have for most of my life. I went to The Lincoln School here in Providence, and then to Emerson College, in Boston. I have two beautiful daughters, Isabella and Sofia, both in college, and living on their own. I raised them as a single mom, and have no regrets, but realize how hard it is to work and raise children at the same time. I enjoy running, and do as much as I can when weather permits, but hit the gym a few times a week, during much of the year, as we live in a mostly cold weather climate. I also enjoy cooking, as I am Italian American and come from a big family, I learned how to cook at a young age, and I think I am quite Read more good at it. I have several references that will attest to my cooking alone. I also owned my own bakery business at one time, a long time ago, based on my grandmother's recipes, and did quite well. I am lucky enough to have 9 nieces and nephews, varying in ages from 2 years old to 14 years old. My 13 year old nephew is a special needs child, being born with brain damage. I have been able to take part in all of their caregiving and am still a big part of their lives, when I have the time to spend with them. I enjoy them all, at every stage. I've stayed up to watch the infants, stayed overnights to give my siblings a chance to vacation, and generally just play with the kids as much as I can. My kids and I get a kick out of it. I cook for them and do laundry as well, and my sister with three little ones needs errands run sometimes. She has a nanny, but I fill in when she needs a break. I have a very reliable volkswagen Cabrio, with good insurance. I have a spotless driving record. I also love pets, especially dogs.
