I thought I would also share a little about myself and my family. I live with my Husband that I have been with for 11 years. We have 3 children; Tristan (7), Alyana (5), and Isabella (2). We have 2 cichlid fish that the kids love to watch. I have a passion for music and have been singing since I was a young child in different contests, talent shows, and weddings. I also play piano, French Horn, and Tenor Saxophone. So your child will hear a lot of music at my house. I enjoy playing basketball, running, and taebow. A part-time hobby of mine is running half and full marathons.

I would like to welcome you to my home and hope it is a rewarding experience for your children. Feel free to contact me by phone (763-229-5842) or email (hillfan3@yahoo.com) on any questions or concerns you may have.
