Other Relevant Experience

Ran a successful home-business offering both private care and services licensed by government, providing childcare for troubled children from broken homes, assisting parents in proper management of child behavior. I set up other homes in this manner.

Built an in-depth data-base and trained staff to manage data on church congregation of approx. 500 (designed forms, collected data and formulated the data-base); set in place a committee for newcomers/new Christians (Bramalea Alliance Church, Brampton, Ontario).

Established home cell groups in surrounding area, ran a group from my own home, responsible for ensuring care and arranging help for practical needs i.e.: home help, hospital visitations, home visits, etc., as well as conducting research for Senior Pastor (Harvest Bible Chapel, Barrie, Ontario).

I homeschool my three children which includes combining curriculum to match specific interests of each child, teaching, training to study independently, training to research, overseeing their work, maintaining accurate records, balancing study with sports/gym, music, dance, swim classes. Included in their homeschooling is giving back to the community such as volunteering through St John Ambulance, local churches, working with homeless, visiting elderly, widows and nursing homes, setting up computers, baking treats to take to others, assisting as needed. Also, one child is running a successful pet-sitting service and the other is on the beginning stages of his computer services / training business. The other child hires herself out to the others to help them in their work so she can also be part of business and be paid.

I also manage several personal investment strategies as a means of providing income for my family. This is also my own business and requires management, risk-taking, calculating risks, maintaining proper financial records, sometimes working in high-stress mode; timely consulting, interacting with other business partners internationally.
