Summary
I am a mother of five and grandmother of four. I have a special needs child who is twenty-eight years old. He is currently in an amazing Host Home! I work full time as a Registered Nurse and am looking for a change. I know how well this program works because of my son's experience.
I enjoy baking, reading, walking, scrapbooking and, of course, spending time with my kids and grandchildren. I have been widowed for two years.
I appreciate teamwork and collaboration but can also work alone if needed. I am organized, and timely.
I have a cheerful personality and would love to welcome a client into my home.
