Summary

I have been a stay at home mom since January of 2009 as well as homeschooling my 8 children. My youngest child has special needs so in addition to being organized and punctual in all things, I have continuously used my medical background at home. I have years of experience cleaning, maintaining, and organizing our 4,000 square foot home. I am looking to get back into the workforce with a job that has a schedule opposite of my husband.
