I have 6+ experience taking care of children and 10 years experience as a care giver and have worked for the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Social Development and Family Services. Performing the duties of a care giver for several types of patients. I am the mother of five grown up children. In my spare time I like reading about different cultures around the world.
