I started caring for children at a young age. My little brother was born when I was 9 years old and would care for him on the weekends when I went to visit my father because often times my father had to sleep during the day to work his graveyard shift. As my little brother got older, I would watch between eight and 10 children in our garage and interact and play with them all. During school, I would help out with the children with special needs and eat lunch with them and interact with them. I also was a mother's helper for a family whose grandparents lived next door. I would play with the children while she cooked or cleaned and when one or two of her children had a sporting event to go to, I would often go with and interact and play with the children in the playground so the parents could focus on the game.
