I grew up in a large family. Being the oldest of 7, my youth was spent caring for my younger siblings. Perhaps this is why motherhood came naturally to me. I have raised 3 children of my own. When my 3rd was born, I took a job in a daycare so my son could be by my side while I also provided for my family. After 5 years I left the daycare with a heavy heart because I did truly love my job, but my son went to school and so started babysitting from my home. I took care of 3 children from diapers to potty training. During this time, I was studying real estate and was a realtor for many years until the market crashed in 2006. It was at that time I went back to being a caregiver and cared for an 80-year-old woman. After a few years she returned to Poland, but her daughter who loved me, did not leave me jobless. For the past several years I have cared for another 3 children and now that they too have grown, as children do, my arms are open for a new family in need of my help.
