Work Experience
Stay at Home Mom
Naples, FL
2020 to Present
I went on FMLA in September of 2019 to come back to my hometown of Marco Island to be with my father
as he was dying. Four days after he passed, my two year old daughter had a stroke and was in the ICU
for 11 days at the Miami children's hospital. Once she was released, my family and I packed up all of our
belongings and came back home, to Marco Island. I have since been a stay-at-home mom while helping
my daughter recover and my mom following my dad's death.
