I am a mother of two grown children and one lovely granddaughter. As the result of a tragic accident I became a single parent at young age. I feel that this experience has shape my approach to life. I practice gratitude daily. I am a very calm, logical and a thoughtful person who loves babies and elderly folks. I spent many years caregiving my parents and other elders in my family. I am a joyful person who works hard and is a great cook. I have lots of energy and spend it exercising my dog and working in the garden, two of my passions. All of my assists make me a great candidate for the responsibility of caring for children and elders.

I have not had formal training in child or elder care but I believe my years of experience speak for themselves. I believe balance is a very important component of living a healthy life. All aspects of a person whether child or adult need to be cared for and nurtured. I believe the body mind and soul need to be fed and exercised. I am an avid gardener and cook, so the I believe that food not only promotes a healthy body but eating can add joy to the day. Exercise is also critical to everyone’s well being. Or bodies are designed to move because with that movement comes the release of “ feel good” hormones. Finally I feel stimulation of the mind through a variety of modems is paramount. Reading, play and for elders if they are so inclined, prayer.
