My job was shipped overseas. I then took these last years to assist in helping with my 7 grand children. All were born within these same years. I am very blessed to have had the time to do this. Now, they are older, in school and busy with various activities. I am looking forward to working again. I love the fact that I can be helping others in someway and making every customers experience the very best. Thank You!
