I do not know a life without kids. As the oldest of 26 cousins, I feel as though I have been a caretaker my entire life. I knew from a young age I wanted to work in a school. I always saw myself as a teacher but an unfortunate set of circumstances caused me to leave school. That said, it has never held me back. I was still able to work in various school settings and have spend my entire career doing so. I am in my market for a career change but still very much want to work with kids. I can help with homework, make arts & crafts, teach swimming and keep kids fit! I am also a marathon and half-ironman finisher which speaks to my tenacity and commitment.
