I have always loved being around children. I would volunteer myself to help take care of my younger sibling and all of my younger cousins. I have been enforced to take education as a first priority and thrive from helping others learn. There is nothing more fulfilling then knowing I am assisting in the positive growth of our children. From observing my mom, who is a full-time nanny, I have learned to focus on providing children with creative outlets that donβt involve excessive screen time. Art is a hobby that I partake in when I need to relax from school and I remember being at my most productive whenever I was allowed to be abstract.
