I new to Portland and looking for a job in the field I enjoy working in. As I stated above, I am a retired special needs teacher, I have been a caregiver in groups homes, I am a experienced foster parent as well as an adopted parent. I have done all this after raising three children of my own. I have also assisted in raising 14 grand children. I enjoy reading, and from time to time I attempt to write. A former Sunday School teacher for my former church. During my twenty-seven years in Phoenix I also served on the Board of Trustee and finance chairman. I am experience in taking people from the group home to church with me, taking them shopping and helping hem manage their money.
