Hello! First and foremost, I am a proud mother of two wonderful young men, who are now graduated from college, a retired special education teacher of 20 years (specialization in autism, ADHD, and ED), a senior care giver for 25, an avid reader, and travel enthusiast. My love of travel is because I speak couple of languages and am amazed by different cultures, customs, and people. If I am not cooking for my family and friends, or in my backyard garden, you will find me nestled up in my recliner with a good book and a cup of coffee. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, Covid vaccinated, I have a clean driving record, and a fingerprint clearance card. My professional and personal references will all tell you that I am passionate about making a difference in kids' lives, finding each child unique and special, and that I make deep connections with them. If you think that I might be a good fit for your family, I would love to meet and get to know you
