I am the very proud mommy of an amazing 11 1/2 year old daughter. I share custody of her with her father who resides in Georgia. I am the oldest of 5 children, and had an active role in the raising of my younger sister and three brothers. I also babysat throughout my entire high school and college years. I have an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice and am currently looking into options to continue my education to receive a Bachelors Degree. I cherish both children and animals. I have years of experience working with both. I was a dolphin and sea lion trainer for 5 years at the Gulfarium in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I have also work in the veterinarian field with dogs and cats for over three years. I worked for the state of Florida with abused and neglected children and also teen mothers for two years in the Tampa, Florida area. I changed my major in college from Marine Biology to Criminal Justice to fulfill a passion to work with juvenile delinquents. I want to dedicate my time to helping minors become the best adults they can be. At the age of 5 1/2 months my daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and then last year with CF related diabetes. I have much experience taking care of both healthy and ill children. I have the patience, knowledge and love it takes to get a child through the tough time of being in the hospital as well as at home recovering. I absolutely adore children, and would love the opportunity to be of assistance to those in need of a full-time nanny. I am a very dedicated individual, who thoroughly enjoys watching children learn and grow as well as the challenge of teaching and/or guiding them. I am currently in the position where I am able to provide live-in services if needed. I own my vehicle so reliable transportation is not an issue. I look forward to meeting your wonderful children as well as helping you in providing excellent care for them.
