I worked for IHHS over ten years. I'm looking for a role that fits my experience. 2018 Honda for transportation. Very reliable with a lot of tribal knowledge. I took care of my mom for over 9 years. Took on line classes to enhanced my skill set. I clean, cook, drive and love to engage in conversation with individual.
