To whom it may concern:
I have been a stay-at-home mom for the past 7 1/2 yrs. I have a 7-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter. I was in college when I got pregnant but soon realized that my low paying job plus all my bills could not afford decent child care. My husband's job requires him to often leave the state for months at a time and with no close family at hand, we really had no one to help us out.
So I decided to become a homemaker and put my career on pause.
I don't regret my decision for a minute, raising my children full time has been the most rewarding 'career' I could ever have, but if I could couple that with being able to work from home while they are in school, that would be fantastic, we could really use the money and I am very ready to dig in to a new challenge! College courses online are perfect for me, I wouldn't have to worry about sitters and travel expenses, and best of all I could still be here for my children.
Thank you for considering me!
Sincerely,
Tina Kingren
About Victoria
Hello. I was born and raised in Indiana, and am the youngest of four children. When I was growing up, I had to help my oldest sister a lot because she is a person with disabilities. We got really close, and she taught me a lot about women's history, and how to take pride in being a strong woman. After high school, I enrolled at Smith, a small liberal arts women's college. At my school, I studied alongside non-traditional students, who taught me things that weren't in our lectures. The non-traditional students were women 25+. They were mothers, wives, divorcees, widows, sisters, aunts, nieces. Our oldest graduate earned her degree at age 83! Today, I am a New Jerseyan working at eLearners.com, helping build a website that is dedicated to non-traditional students enrolling in online degree programs.
