I am the 2 oldest of 8 brothers and sisters. I therefore helped with the raising and taking care of my younger siblings, especially when my mother started homeschooling us. I was raised to work hard and do your best. I have worked on a lettuce farm, a hospital for 8 years, 2 retirement homes, and have also done some waitressing. I have gone on a Medical Missions Trip and have worked for a month in Brazil with other missionaries. I worked as a counselor in summer camps, including Teen Ranch. I have volunteered with DCAFS, and have had teenagers in my home. I have also volunteered with Teen Ranch, Big Sister / Little Sister, and St. John's ambulance. I am currently taking a break from volunteering with Caledon / Dufferin family services. I have a son who will be 16 this year with disabilities, and a husband. I love children, and would have had more if I could have. I have over 50 nieces and nephews, from both sides. I can't wait to meet your child(ren) and have an amazing, fun time with them. I have some learning tools, if needed, as I taught my son how to read. I love doing crafts and playing with children. I do know and understand like the basics of Español. I have also the basics of ASL.
