Touching_Families_Changing_Lives.jpgTouching Families Changing LivesMy first memory of "what I would be when I grew up" is to care for little children and babies. Life led me away for a while as I raised my own family. When I re-entered the work force it was as a Family day care worker and my work dream is fulfilled every day. I was thrilled to receive the nomination for the fisher price Carer of the year award and worked hard to complete Cert 3 in Childcare
This challenge seemed made to fit thanks Relsi.
