I love kids!! I'm a happily married wife, mom & empty-nester. I have an Associates Degree in Arts & Human Services (pre-nursing and social work.) I'm also a CNA & have decades of experience caring for newborns, kids, seniors, (& pets!) I was a live-in nanny for over three years for a newborn & two toddlers. I've also cared for newborns and toddlers, (together) in several different positions. I've worked as a CNA at a nursing home, in surgery as a ward technician, and have had First-aid & CPR training & am up to date on my immunizations. I've even cared for dogs at a dog-boarding kennel! I also have excellent references for you. I am qualified, & find most my rewarding interactions are in caring for, teaching & inspiring children. I have experience w/ Asperger's syndrome & other challenges. I'm conscientious, ethical, prompt & reliable. I enjoy reading to & teaching kids how to read; be creative, the arts, outdoors, cook, music, color, laugh & play!
