Hi, My name is Linda, and i became a caregiver/babysitter when I was 5 years old. I had to grow up and raise my siblings I took care of both siblings till 1 years ago when my older sibling passed away. Then I was left with one sister and a mother to care for. I have also babysat for friends and friends of friends. I love children, some of my friends used to tell me that I had a special gift where children automatically come to me (which not to honk my on horn, it is true) I have had children come up to me and ask to play or read to them. I have what my boyfriend calls an over-motherly instinct. The main reason I love children and want to care for children is because of being told for years now that my chances of having children are slim Read more to none. So I make the best of it and help others with their children it gives me joy to see a child happy smiling and healthy children are a gift and to me just being able to be in a child's life to help them grow and mature is a truly special gift that I cherish. Children of today are the future of tomorrow.
