I also shared time with my cousin's daughter who is only 2 months old, I learned a lot from the baby, I changed diapers, fed her with Pacha, dressed her, carried her, bathed her, took care of her, my cousin was with me all time and I learned a lot.
In my free time, I always looked for childcare to gain more experience, therefore I had the experience of sharing with other children in the neighborhood, also with the cousins of my nephew Santiago, and the nephews of a friend, among other children I met in my Au pair process. I was always looking for how to gain more experience with children.
At the internship, I met two girls Ana and Ada, 5 years old, who are two twins who do not have one leg because when they were born, they were born attached to their legs and they had to separate them. From the moment I was with them, they transmitted positivism to me because it is incredible how they were so happy despite the fact that they have a disability.
