I never really became a caretaker, I just grew up with children knowing the different phases they can go into quickly. All my life I have been raised with children and it has taught me many things. Learning to be patient with them, learning from their mindsets, and just making sure their comfortable around the environment and having fun. I have grew up with babies and toddlers my whole life and it's always been important as an older sibling to watch over my young ones and make sure their taken care of. Although I never really trained or had certifications, I knew how to handle certain situations when it came to children. I was raised watching how my parents would do certain things for the baby and how delicate they are, I have always loved children and babies.
