I have been caring for children since I remember. I am the oldest of four children. I am also the oldest of my generation on both my mother and father's side of the family. I have tons of cousins. I took care of my aunt's children (boy 4, girl 6) for one year while she finished school and worked at night. My caring for them consisted of, picking them up from school, helping them with homework, feeding them, playing with them, bathing them, putting them to bed, and occasionally getting them ready for school. I also took care of my youngest cousin (girl 1). She lived with me on weekends for two years while her mom worked. I kept her up until my third trimester of my pregnancy, and now I am caring for, loving, and raising a 10-month-old son. I have also had experience babysitting for friends, and volunteering in school day cares.
