A little bit about me

I am a 43 yr. Old mother of 4 grown boys and grandmother of 6 girls. I have been a stay at home mom for 20 years. I have alot of experience with child rearing at all ages and all stages of life. I more recently worked in my local school district driving a school bus for pre-K- 12 , and also transported children with special needs and MRDD . I have cared for my neighbors children as well during those years when my children were home. My youngest is 15 and very independent. He has been homeschooled all his life and (just recently decided to join the public school system)due to a rare skin disorder he was born with that required my attention on a daily basis. He has become self reliant in caring for his skin condition over the course of the last 4 years and no longer requires my help. I have a very flexible schedule and distance does not bother me. I have also been a second mom to my nefew whom I had daily since he was born.I am certified in ACLS, BCLS,PCLS, First Aid,CPR.
