I remember clearly, when I was about 4, my Aunt Linda said, 'I'm not babysitting him no more. He's bad.' It was one of the first conscious shifts I remember making. I decided, 'I'm going to be good now.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.
I tell people all the time, 'As long as my kids are doing good, I'm gonna be alright.'
At 3 years old, I was imitating and doing fun little commercials for the family. Then at 5, I knew, 'OK, this is something I really like.' At 8, I was crying in front of the mirror and my mom was like, 'Oh boy, here we go. We know what she's going to do.'
I'm a working mom. I've been working since I was 14 years old.
My mother raised three kids on her own, so I was taught that to be a working mom was a good thing.
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.
As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.
I was the oldest of the children in my family. I had to do a lot of diaper-changing and lunch-making. I was taking my little sister to ballet, picking up my brother, sort of being a super-nanny.
I was working part-time as a cleaner while I was going to college and then babysitting after school.
Growing up, I was not used to good things happening to me.
