I have 2 adult children and 3 grandkids. I drove a school bus from 1992 through 2021. I also worked in the cafeteria, as a special needs aid and wore many more hats as needed during that time. I love kids and will happily play along with them. I'm willing to run errands and take kids to appointments or after school activities.
