My husband, Johnny & I have 5 beautiful children, 4 daughters ages 21, 20, 18, & 15 and our son is 17!!! We have 2 dogs Dixie and Gypsie that we love as children! I am a certified teacher & have taught in the public school system for 18 years; private for 4 years. I absolutely adore children of all ages & cherish the moments I have with each & every one of them! Children keep me young at heart, furthermore, I enjoy watching, but even more so, feel privileged to be the witness of each student/child learn, play & grow into what they've always dreamed they would be! That's the most extraordinary feeling, just knowing you've played a part in a child's/student's success and accomplishments! I'd be overjoyed to role model, further educate, and positively encourage your child/student to turn their set goals and aspirations into a reality, rather than a hope or dream! I also love animals of all kinds, just prefer to have dogs as our family pets! Dogs are truly Man's Best Friend!
