Brenda's Story
A year out of high school I married and soon started a family. I have two wonderful sons. Twelve years later divorced and have remained friends with the boys dad.I moved to Arlington and taught Pre K-4 for a few years before becoming the nanny for a wonderful family with two daughters. I stayed with that family for 14 years. I moved on to teaching Pre K again for a couple of years. I soon met another lovely family with two sons and became their nanny.

Except for that...I've had a wonderful life. Now that we are retired {my life long partner of 25 years}I'm looking forward to traveling around the USA.
