When I first started babysitting it was for a family with two children that were under the age of four, a little boy named Bentley and a newborn girl named Charlotte . The little boy has low functioning autism, which mean he was unable to speak and did things differently than other children. It was difficult to watch them at times, charlotte would be crying and fussy. Bentley would be crying for all my attention directed towards him, but he also had days where he did not want my attention and wanted me to leave him alone. Dinner time was always one of the hardest times of the night. I had to feed charlotte who was crying because she was starving. At the same time I had to figure out what Bentley wanted to eat. He was a picky eater I had to hold up the food. If by chance he showed any reaction on his face. That is what he wanted to eat, if that did not work I had him grab my hands and had him showed us what he wanted to eat. We did a lot together throughout the years of babysitting him and his sister.

We were going to eat outside because it was so nice. One thing that we had to make sure of was that we put on our bug spray because of the bad mosquitoes out there.
As my first step at trying something different, in the beginning I was tense, unsure of what to do. Yet the more I interacted with the children, I began to open up to these kids as they reached out to me for just the simplest things. I learned to see the other side of these children the more I connected with them. I watched their jubilant, excited faces as they turned the pages to see the next story and would stare at the pictures.

It will be 5 years this June that I have been in the Foster Care System, I can still remember walking home from school smelling the fresh breeze of air, all the sweaty kids running to their cars waiting to head home from school, or to the ice cream trucks that all had the same foul smell of cheese and takis that followed every breeze that came near. There was a black car, the one time is what we referred them to, this was something that was not out of the ordinary to see around my home. But today was different, two men wearing business suits stepped out of it and went into my home. I stayed back just to get a glimpse of what was going on. I see my mom rush out of the house and into the car, little did I know this would be the last time I would see her as a
The biggest memory that I had was when I was sent to foster care. It started years ago when my dad decided to drink every single day and social services didn’t think that was something kids to be around so my sister and I had to stay with my grandma for a few months. We couldn’t stay with my mom because she didn’t have a house or a job and none of her boyfriends wanted kids in their house. My mom didn’t like us staying with our grandma because she’s not a nice person to be around.
And I with him. Some days we sang along to songs on the radio. Some days he helped me review for a test, or maybe discuss a problem I was having at school. Most of all, it was just a great time to talk
Foster care is full-time substitute care of children outside of their home by people other than their biological, adoptive, or legal guardians. Children are removed from their own homes and placed in foster care in a variety of reasons.

This is what foster care is supposed to be about helping children in need. In this day in age in you ask someone about foster they only see what on tv.
This job really taught me about the importance of children having a routine to follow as well as the impact teachers can have on a child’s life. After my first year in college, I realized that I wanted to gain more experience with children of all ages. Shortly after,
Becoming a Single Mother Becoming a single mother was one of the hardest things to do in my life. I was only nineteen years old and new to the world. I had just gotten out of a five year relationship when I met this guy on social media, a few weeks later we finally met in person. Fast-forward about four months later, I was still working as a manager at one of our local fast food restaurants and just wasn’t feeling the greatest. One of the employees suggested that I could be pregnant, I didn’t think that it was possible since I did my part and was on the Pill, and still currently taking it.
The first day of school can be exciting at any age. However, for many toddlers this can bring feelings of apprehension and fear. This is often the first time that some children will be without their parents or someone they are familiar with for hours at a time. The unfamiliarity will often make it difficult for your child to feel comfortable going away to school. Preschool is an essential building block in your child’s development.
The stolen child by W.B. Yeats and Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin both convey the loss of childhood innocence. Chapin's song tells the far and non-interactive relationship between father and son. Yeat's poem is a story of a fairy inviting a child to escape the misery and sorrow of his human world. Although both pieces share important similarities, one crucial difference is that the song is powerful and tragic compared to the fantasy of The stolen child. The song and the poem both convey the loss of childhood innocence.
The arrival of a new baby, especially the first always marks a new beginning for a mother. It comes with a lot of challenges more so if the mother is less knowledgeable about baby care.
