I am a full time grandmother raising 1(one) of my 5 (five ) grandchildren. Before I did this I was working in the special needs field for organizations such as Easter seals, The May Institute, and as a Special Needs transportation specialist for First Student. I also did the primary care for the last 17 months of my Mom-in-laws life as she gave in to brain cancer. I do not feel that at this time I can return to full time work but would love to find a position or several that I could do that would not interfere with raising my Grandson. I do not drink, smoke, or use illegals. I have a clean record and a semi-clean driving record. I will allow any that need the opportunities to have all the references that they need as I feel that I have only good things in my work history. Please consider me as a care provider for your special person.
