A little bit about me

I have been a pedi triage nurse for the better part of my 25 year nursing career. I'm a mom to 3 children over the age of 18. My weekly hobbies are hiking, walking, arts and crafts, the batting cages & soccer. In my opinion I'm a better choice as a sitter because I'm never distracted with today's electronics and all of my attention is on the children in my care. I love kids and I believe my best attribute is my patience. I have references as well and thank you for stopping by my profile!
