Summary
I became a stay at home Mom January 2005 after the birth of my son. I was in the financial business. I later retained jobs that would work around my son and school calendar. I quit working when he began high school so I could homeschool. During his senior year I went back to work part time in retail. I then had to get a full time job. I received some health news that prompted me to take almost 3 months off. I then decided to go back to work part time. I love talking to people and helping them. I believe teamwork makes the dream work!
