In charge of carrying two female humans to term, even past term in one case study, while ensuring my own physical, mental and emotional well-being. Following birth, my duties shifted to caring for incisions, injections, and scarring; meal planning for various stages of ability; ensuring correctly sized clothes, shoes, toys, and accessories, including but not limited to car seats, strollers, and carriers; and cleansing bodies, garments and accessories of all bodily functions not caught by highly researched safeguarding measures.

​All duties were performed in fast-paced or painfully slow, often high-stress and/or low-sleep, environments.

Promoted to international relocation manager for three international moves in four years. Ensured adequate age-appropriate sustenance and activities for each family member throughout each route as well as temporary and permanent home bases with each new location. The next international move is scheduled for 2024. Managed a one-income budget to ensure we live well, live happy, and live fully.


To date, the hardest and most rewarding position held. I may have left out various important aspects however I believe these have been clouded or forgotten by the intense love felt during the years in this position.
