I have over 20 years of work experience in both traditional and digital marketing. My passion for the arts began as a child, and in the late 80's began studying art and photography at Columbia College, Chicago. Digital media was born, so I continued my education at Governors State University for an MA in Art with a digital concentration. I have taught and developed curriculum for professional training and colleges, and have instructed beginner to experienced learners in creative and technical aspects of design, photography, computer graphics, and technology. I have always prided myself on continually trying to evolve and do things that make me happy. In 2005 I had my son, and yet again found a new passion, caregiving. I am kind, patient, and willing to admit I don't know everything. I am certified in CPR, and have had years of experience as a life guard in my youth. I'm looking for a new change, and would love to have flexible hours. The one best personal achievement would be having my son, caring for him as a single mother, and him being an A student, happy and well adjusted.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
