Additional Information
I know my work history is crazy. I've Ben a stay at home mom for the last 8 years and many years
before that. So I do not have a lot of years in
experience. However that makes it easier to train me I've heard. I'm easily trainable. I give it my best. I would very much love an opportunity to work for
from home. Due to all my kids appointments and
getting them to and from school. I don't have a lot of experience but I have Ben told at every job I was great at what I was doing. Im looking for both the option to work both if possible part time and full time.
