Hi- My name is Darion Grant and I'm new. I decided to become a Manny because I love kids and being a part of their development and growth. I don't have any kids of my own but I have been wanting kids for a long time so I could care for and raise a child how I wish I was raised as I wasn't raised by either of my parents and was instead raised by my Great Aunt who is my inspiration. She also didn't have any kids of her own because unfortunately she had a couple of miscarriages but she was everyone's babysitter and she always made me and the other kids feel like she was our other mother. She cooked,cleaned,taught us manners and respect, and she had plenty of toys and games for us to play and she always treated us how she would if we were her kids. So she babysat to fulfill those urges of having kids and everything that comes with it. I am doing this in memory of my Aunt and also because I just really want the fulfillment of caring for children. I know it's a lot of work but simply being a part of children's growth and development I feel like is worth every second. I do have some experience. I had a stepdaughter that I helped take care of for over a year by helping out with the cooking, cleaning, transportation, school work, I would play games with her. I've also babysat a toddler where I would get up every few hours to check on her. I've helped baby sit newborns as well by changing diapers and cleaning up after them. I'm really hoping someone will give me a chance to be a Manny. I would love the experiences of what it's like to be a parent without having kids because unfortunately, it's just not working out for me having my own. So any and all kids that I care for would be treated as if they were my own.
