I come from a large, loving family of seven children. Being the third child and the eldest daughter, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role, helping to raise and look after all my younger siblings. My Siblings: Brother (32): Eldest sibling Brother (30): Second eldest Me (27): Eldest daughter and caregiver Sister (22): I helped care for her growing up, and now I also have experience being an aunt to her young son. Brother (20): Younger brother Sister (16): Younger sister Sister (11): Youngest sibling Why this matters for my application: Coming from a big household taught me responsibility, patience, and how to manage the needs of different age groups. Caring for my younger sisters and brothers from a young age has made childcare a very natural and joyful part of my life.
