I consider myself an honest and moral woman who is hard working, possesses good judgement, and has a pleasant personality. I have 8 siblings and 26 nieces and nephews, so I have been around children my entire life. I spent most of my adult life after college raising my two amazing children. They are grown and off pursuing their dreams. So even though my own children don't need me as much anymore I still have a strong desire to care for children of all ages. I believe children should get the best possible care while their parents are away from the home supporting the family. I enjoy engaging with the children on all levels whether it be helping them with their homework, driving them to their activities safely, playing with them, or reading with them. I enjoy planning and preparing meals, baking and doing all kinds of crafts. I grocery shop, run errands, and help the family with whatever is required of me that day. I so enjoy viewing the world through children's eyes. For me; it's just not a job and a paycheck, it is a passion. I believe I am responsible, reliable, patient, energetic, self-motivated, flexible, creative, and most importantly; nurturing. I have been caring for children other than my own for about 4 years now. I had the great pleasure to work with an amazing family in Chicago for a year just prior to moving to Texas. I actually felt like I was a part of their family. The girls and I bonded very quickly (ages 5, 2) and the parents and grandparents and I have a very close and trusting relationship. I am very sad to be leaving this family, but I am excited to find another family that needs and loves me just as much!!
