I had a child that was in the Albuquerque Burn Center for a year; to be able to care for him I earned a nursing certificate. I used this knowledge to care for him, and subsequently, several seniors over the years. I enjoy being able to help seniors stay in their homes until the end of their life. I have taught handicapped children and adults how to swim for over 35 years. I was a foster parent for ten years and adopted my first foster child; my daughter adopted my last foster child. I was, also Chief Judge for elections in Ada County for 22 years.
