People person, patience, compassion, teambuilding and leadership. are what I can bring to the table.

 I have worked with children of all different ages from 3-18. I worked mainly with preschoolers with special needs.  With this job and my ADD husband I have learned first hand what patience really is and how to master it.  Compassion comes in play with working with kids and animals.  My husband and I have raised just about everything, from cattle and goats to African Sulcata Tortoises and a Kangaroo.  With this my animal husbandry skills are top notch. Because I worked and a grade school for seven years I became a teamleader/influencer.  I got to know everyone that I worked with and checked on everyone daily.  I have been told by everyone I meet that I am a great leader in positivity. I have also taught Sunday school at my church, and now i am taking on the roll as Supervisor in Cooking and Sewing for my County 4H district. Its a great experience and I get to teach kids. 

I love crafting and decorating whatever whenever.

Because I live out in the country having access to a store is a drive, so I created all my daughters Halloween costumes from scratch.  I have enjoyed craft projects ever since I was little. My children joined 4H when they were little and we loved building projects together. When I worked at the school I became the lady that would decorate for all of our parties we had. I just seem to have a knack for it. i like making people smile everyday. I also try to find the best in everything.
