Hobbies and Interests

When I am not caring for the elderly, I enjoy being a tutor for children on the weekends. Some children require extensive help with their work while others are just looking for someone to read to them. I am always willing to offer my help with anything asked of me and many of the children I have tutored over the years have gone on to excel in the classroom.
