Summary

I am a wife of 23 years, a Mother to my 26 year old daughter Britt'ne and 20 year old son Zekiyah. I have 3 grandsons 9,7,and 3. I love children. Children are my joy.

I owned and operated my Registered Family Home for 20 years. After my son graduated from High School I decided to find a job outside of my home. I applied at my church daycare and got the job immediately because I had great references from members of the children that I had cared for at my Home childcare setting. After being here for three years and realizing I am getting older I need a job I can retire from with benefits and retirement plans.
