I was always surrounded by a big and loving family. It is something that I value most importantly and I could never imagine not having my four siblings around. As I grew older I was able to appreciate the joy children can bring into anyone's life. When I gained a niece and nephew that appreciation became something more. Anytime my sisters need me to babysit I am the first one to say yes. I enjoy constantly keeping them busy, whether it's reading them a children's book or playing hide and seek. I am a firm believer that a child needs love and attention to grow. I am confident that I am the best person to take care of the most important person in a mother or father's life and will do so with the best of my ability.
