A little bit about me

I’m 65 years old and very active. I’ve worked in school districts for 30 years as an interpreter for the deaf. I have 3 children and 8 grandchildren, 2 who live here in Ankeny. I’m looking for summer work only as I still work for the schools during the year. I’m a Christian and enjoy interacting with children, playing with them and leading as a good example to them. I love gardening and being outside, doing crafts, swimming, hiking and sports. I’ve never been a nanny. But I’m a parent, Nana, and have worked with deaf children and hearing children in the schools for over 30 years.
