I am just coming back into the working world after being a Stay-at-home wife and mother to my four kids for about 11 years. My children are older and more independent now. I recently started going back to school at Lee College in Baytown. I am looking for a flexible job to work with my class schedule and an employer who understands that one's children and family come first. I am looking forward to learning new skills in a new and exciting work environment.
