I started babysitting when I was about 13 and realized not only how much I enjoyed being around kids, but how easily and naturally I connected with them. I understand them, and even more than that, I value and respect them. Despite the fact that they're not mine. Because I know they are someone's child, they are someone's whole world, and it's such an honor to be a small part of their lives, even for a brief period of time. I am currently a student at Northwestern University studying Neuroscience with a minor in Spanish and I research at a child development lab as well as mentor elementary students weekly so I am surrounded by children a lot.
