A little bit about me

My name is Jordan. I worked full-time in the medical field for 8+years. I have an associate’s degree in health and science. I am certified in CPR, BLS and first aid. I’ve been around children my entire life. I was the youngest of three girls. I’ve always been very close with my nieces and nephews. I also have one son and two bonus sons who are all teenagers now and drive themselves around, so I have a lot of free time now. I grew up in pageants so I set good examples, I amvery good at problem-solving and conflict resolution. For two years I was a volunteer mentor at Guardian Christian Academy and involved with their after school program as well. I love children and I love to play games and teach the young ones things they need to be ready for school and with the older children I have a way of connecting with them to help them with their current school work. I am very family oriented individual and I believe that all children have the means to succeed with the right guidance.
