      IF the sky is the limit, why not work there? I have the best office view in the world, I work with the best people and my customers are the best, too! There is no greater calling (in my opinion) so I am overjoyed with where I am at and how I got here. There are no bad days in this job, no 9-5’s, no monotony, and I get to travel & meet new people. I love hearing my passengers stories, I love sharing my own. Nothing gives me greater joy than making them laugh or smile, getting hugs is the best! I’m known as a ‘baby whisperer’ and snuggle the babies any chance I get! Being unable to carry my own, I have the best of both worlds, I can soothe the baby’s anxieties & the parents. Win-Win! I LUV my ‘job!’
