I started caring for babies in the 6th grade during morning church services. Throughout middle school I looked forward to Sunday mornings craddling sleeping babies, or trying to sing them to sleep. I looked forward to the toddlers, one who learned how to say "ahhh-some!" and give high fives. I looked forward to holding tiny hands and guiding steps across the room. And... I learned to change diapers! This routine carried on every Sunday though 8th grade. It led to some of my first baby sitting gigs with infants and toddlers, and got me interested in early childhood development.
During afternoon service, I'd go to youth group and play guitar and sing in the band. So it began... my interest in music, my interest in babies.
