I also had experience taking care of Martin, he is a very cheerful and happy child, when we shared the days it was a very comforting experience because I was in his learning process, while he was learning the first things in school. And also when I took care of my cousin it was a great challenge because I learned to pay attention to every detail to understand the baby's needs when she was hungry and when she wanted to sleep, however with love and care it was always a good experience.
With the baby Gabriela, the experience was very beautiful, because I helped her through song games, videos of animal sounds, lyrics, and numbers to develop her ability to speak and communicate things because she used to only express herself through signs but now she can talk more and perform better.
