SKILLS
I am a reliable, teachable, organized mature adult that has managed flag ship retail stores to a school full of 2 year olds to my very own household. Over my 20 retail experience, I’ve had to oversee daily operations of million dollar stores. I’ve also needed to maintain daily policies and procedures required by a daycare owner and also by state requirements. My best skills, however, are used in my busy daily life as a mother of 3 kids.
