I have spent the last 5 years nurturing, guiding and loving a little boy since he was 3 months old. Two years later I was blessed to have his sister join us. The family has come to trust that I love their children and know that I'm reliable, honest and flexible. They know also that I love their children. I am a mother to four and grandmother to eight. Over the years, through my career in the dental field I have taken on miscellaneous side jobs by caring for grandchildren or friend's children. I love children and enjoy being in their presence. In my free time I enjoy doing crafts, I like to encourage children to use their imagination and create. I enjoy reading and know that reading is crucial to learning. I integrate books into every day with children. I feel that children are our blessing and our future and can think of no better way to spend my time than to help nurture them to become good humans.
