In 1998, I graduated from UF with a social work degree specializing in children & families & immediately got a job as a counselor serving at-risk teenaged girls.I LOVED it!What a challenge!I worked there for about 7 years, commuting 1 hour each way.In 2003 I got married to the love of my life & we had our first child.Suddenly my priorities changed!I dreaded the commute because that was 2 additional hours away from my baby.My job was also so intense that, at the end of the day I had no energy left for my own pumpkin.I longed for a job with less hours and less stress.That brought me to my next adventure.I began working as my OB/GYN's office manager and assistant. It was exactly what I was looking for!I learned an incredible amount at that office, I met amazing women daily, & most importantly, at the end of the day I still had the energy to play with my baby.In 2007 we had a daughter and once again I yearned for more time with my children. Fortunately, things had evolved in such a way that it was now possible for me to stay home!Around the same time, one of my dearest friends was looking for care for her baby & voila...here I am!
