I lived a military life supporting my husband in his career trajectory and have moved my family of five across the United States over seventeen times. I am looking to support my income caring and helping community families get through the daily grind with less stress. I have a degree in Family and Human Development and recently earned my Teacher Certification through the state of WA with my M.Ed. degree.
