Hi I’m Shirley! I am 36 years old & a mother to 3 kind, important, smart & wonderful children. I have 1 girl age 14 & 2 boys ages 13 & 6 whom I stayed home with full time until they were each in school full days. I feel very strongly that all children, my own + others, should be treated equally. No discrimination on gender. I’ve lived in Mystic most of my life, it’s where I grew up & am currently living. I absolutely love New England. There’s no place like home! I have experience in home healthcare & companionship + I went to school for medical assistance, but unfortunately have yet to pursue my career in that specific field. I graduated high school in 2002 then enrolled into community college at Three Rivers where I earned an Associate degree in General Studies. While attending community college I went Read more to Cosmetology school in Niantic & received my full CT State Cosmetology License post a 7 year successful & rewarding career. I’m definitely a people person & an open book so if ya have any questions whatsoever please don’t hesitate to ask. As a parent myself I absolutely understand the responsibility to keep your child/ children’s safety a #1 priority over everything else.
