When I turned 11, my parents moved our family to Galway where we had 25 foster children over nine years. I've learned on how to use music, humor, nature, arts and crafts and animals to make the children feel comfortable and at home and to thrive. I became a foster parent myself in my mid- twenties. As an adult, I have been a part of a retreat house and conference center's weekend for people with developmental disabilities. I have provided literacy tutoring to a co-worker and was a Camp Counselor. I have a burning desire to make a difference in people's lives and I realize the importance of respite care for families. I am reliable and have a love of life and a compassion for people.
