Stay at Home Mom

Evans Family
Saint Petersburg, FL
04.2016 - Current

By far, staying at home to raise my children is the most difficult job I have ever done. Because of the especially personal nature of this job, I find it excruciating to describe my responsibilities formally. My oldest child was in 2nd Grade when I went full time mom, and I had so much to learn. My children were always in the care of nannies, babysitters, and child care centers, so I had to learn how to run a household with no actual training. It was trial by fire and I can confidently say I have done the job well. My 15 year old is on the spectrum, but has become quite secure and able in his daily life. My 13 year old is a force of nature and I'm excited to see how her future unfolds. The list of skills I have gained in the last several years are numerous and include but are certainly not limited to: handyman and home repair; tutor; counselor; EMT; crisis management; advocate and personal chef. I can tape and mud drywall like a pro.
