I am a teacher, Mom and PCA as well! I provide care for children, elders, postpartum moms and families, and those with other needs! Look forward to hearing from you! Unfortunately, I live a bit far from a lot of my family, and had to watch four of my grandparents age and need help from others when I was unable to be geographically close to them. Some of their care providers became like part of our family, and I was so grateful for their care. Around the same time, I started working for Barton's Angels as a PCA and was assigned a woman around my own grandmother's age, whose loving kids also lived several states away. I loved hearing her stories, being there for her, I felt it was a blessing for me to be in her life. Every client I've had feels like that to me! Right now I'm a substitute teacher, but seeking more permanent work. I'm available for both part time jobs and am also seeking regular employment, preferably school hours as I'm still actively raising 2-3 of my 4 kids, (ages 5-19). I look forward to hearing from you!
