Certification
- CNA - Certified Nurse Assistant
Spending time with my children. Learning new things.
We have family night at least twice a week. We cook dinner together , play board games, and watch movies. Talk about anything and everything. Their is a total of 7 children, 2 of which I gave birth to, and 5 that are my bonus children. Aging from 4-21. It is never a dual moment around. I love learning just in general. Rather it be from something my children learned or school, or something new I learned at work in the health field, and in one of my college classes. I always try to make it as fun as possible.
