Work History

Stay at Home Mom

My Children
11.2017 - Current

Since having my daughter, I have been a stay at home parent to two special needs children many believe that this position does not enhance my work history, I must disagree. I have learned how to manage my time better than ever before. I am able to effectively handle various tasks in a short amount of time. I have learned how to meet the needs of individuals who do not have words to express themselves, or struggle to do so. My patience, confidence, and skills have improved drastically over the last 6+ years. While, taking care of my family, I also obtained a degree online successfully, having graduated with As in all courses. I have learned the value of time and energy, and where to place them both when it matters. I am more self motivated, with a stronger sense of personal responsibility. I mastered my skills of learning quickly and adapting to new situations. I work well in fast paced environments and with a team.
