“Receiving this award was quite a surprise for me, as I just do what I like to do, and I’ve been blessed with working with so many great people. We’ve had so much fun over the years, it never seemed like work. It is such an honor and privilege to be able to take care of children, day-to-day, and I am continually filled with awe watching them grow and develop.”
