: About Me

I am pleased to say that I am retired from Social Work as a Child and Youth Care Worker. Now I can focus on my own grandchildren which is proving to be very satisfying. I have enjoyed working with all children in the past but I felt ineffective in helping children when they return to the same environment. My daughter Tamarae teaches at a Christian School and enjoys it immensely. I feel proud to facilitate her busy schedule by being available to look after Emily-Ann (4) and Zoey (7). I am a grandmother fulfilled. I love gardening which I do a lot as my husband
refuses to retire after a career in the RCMP for 28 years.
Well what can I say...after 33 years of marriage he can do what he is passionate about and that is working with people. I do actively participate in Church events and as well find teaching Sunday School a lot of fun. I am very fortunate to be able to do the things that love to do and be healthy enough at 56 years of age to play.

My passion is ...

creating. Either things in the garden/kitchen or artwork.

I know too much about ...

words. Scrabble and Crosswords are delightful.

My childhood ambition ...

Nurse. (pediatrics) But I only lasted two years. Geriatrics got the best of me.
