I am a mother of 3 smart, funny, creative and caring girls. I went to school at Northern Illinois University and earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I enjoyed raising my own children but I do miss the younger ages and would like my schedule to stay somewhat flexible so I can still participate in my girls'...
I have had many pets throughout my life, ranging from guinea pigs, rabbits, and geckos to cats and dogs. Because of this I am comfortable caring for almost any pet. I am reliable, honest, and love animals. As a teacher, I have had my background checked by the state, so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands.
