I have 5+ years experience in clerical settings, working with Microsoft office applications, Excel and other office tools. I have an eye for editing and accuracy and navigate typing and computer software with ease. I recently became a new single mom and began working at a daycare-where I have learned and performed very different tasks- more hands-on duties and multitasking are required of me, but I have also offered the experience of several previous job skills to ensure the optimal safety, record-keeping, communication and care for local parents and their children under my care. We have very high standards and regularly complete trainings through the IdahoSTARS program to certify our daycare. I'm a dedicated and resourceful worker. I'm organized, thorough and accurate. I have great ability to multitask and keep records. I'm driven and a self starter and have excellent communication skills.

I'm a single mom, working full-time, so I juggle a lot!
I love being a mom and feel blessed to work where I can bring my daughter and be a part of her day.
I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my family. We go camping, go to parks, go swimming, take walks and go hiking.
I'm involved with my church and like to serve my community and attend community events and fundraisers.
I have always enjoyed writing and someday want to publish a book. I occasionally write online reviews for businesses and products.
