Deb Hetrick – Billing

My love of children drew me into the child care arena after my own children were grown. I am in my tenth year here. I currently work part time, doing billing, payroll, etc. so I can work from home yet still see the children at each center. I love NSPCC because of its warm atmosphere and genuine concern for each child in our care. Paul and Mary Coulter are a first class team!
