Summary
I have work experience in several areas, including office management, preschool teaching, and cashiering, as well as sales. As an adult who has homeschooled three children and also maintained my family's home, I have gained knowledge and life experience that is sometimes unmatched by a degree or work experience. I feel I learn quickly and can get along great with most anyone. 😊 I don't just WANT to work, I NEED to work! I know I have been out of the work force for many years but I feel I can jump right back in adapt quickly.
