I love the personal interaction and helping people. I am the oldest of eight and have been taking care of others since before I can remember. After that I had three daughters who grew up to not only be beautiful but smart and ambitious! I have been a special needs paraprofessional for over 10 years and even before that I took care of my husband who had numerous health issues. When my youngest daughter moved out in 2010 and then my husband passed in 2013 (after I spent 10 yrs caring for him and over 2 months in Hospice), a major hole in my life appeared. I realized I am a born caretaker and I no longer had anyone to care for. As a special needs paraprofessional, I not only enhanced my prior skills but developed a ton of new ones! I can get along with anyone and I have love and passion for life!
