Technically, my experiences in the Child Care field really only began few years ago when family & friends needed help & couldn't afford the Day Care Centers around them. So I took on 3of their kids ranging from a newborn, a 2yr.old & a 4yr.old. I was their carer from 5am when their parents started to get up for work, until they come back @5pm but then needed an hour or 2 to shower & eat dinner before picking their kids. But to be honest, I believe my real experiences with Child Care began at the early age of 8. I was the eldest female in a strict Asian Traditional family. So all house chores & looking after younger siblings & all meal preps was automatically my job from the time I knew how to change nappies using safety pins without pricking myself. So over 20yrs experience caring for family related children & over 5yrs experience with other people's kids from the community who have heard about my Child Care from home & have approached me to ask for Help in raising their kids too. Yes, raised not just watch/babysit. Bcos I do believe it takes a Village to bring up great human-beings & teach children our Old School values & manners takes Society to work as a Whole. But starting from the homes they are raised/brought up from.
