I’ve been taking care of someone other than myself for as long as I can remember. My mom has a rare nervous system disorder that has left her handicapped. I was 12 when she first got diagnosed and since then I have taken over the role of mom while still being the big sister. I have 2 brothers that are 2 and 4 years younger than me. I pride myself in the young men they’ve become today because I truly feel like I raised them and guided them through the most important years for their growth and development. I also have experience in caring for people with disabilities because of the many many years I’ve taken care of my mom. I’ve learned how to be patient, and how to adapt to their mood swings, random cravings, and sometimes erratic behavior and how to handle it appropriately. In addition, I’ve been Read more a baby sitter for several families I met throughout my life, from neighbors to friends’ families to new families I get introduced to by referral. I’m 23 years old, between careers and saving money for my tuition and could use the kindred spirit children possess to influence my own energy in a positive way.
