A little bit about me

I am a 56 year old mother of three. My youngest is 17. I have raised my own and missing the younger years. Working in corporate America has not been fulfilling and looking for an exciting change.

I have an education degree with a focus on special education. While I never taught in the classroom because I was able to stay at home with my children after I graduated, I know I used much of what I learned to be a better parent to my young ones.

I have been CPR certified but it was years ago. I would be happy to get certified again if necessary.
