When I finish high school I started to help with Luciana's homework, she was my friend's daughter. I went to her house, and I helped with her school homework about math when her mother tell me because she say me that Luciana can understand me better than her school teacher.
Lucas Elian is a beautiful baby and his mother is my friend too, she and I meet in a nail Spa where we worked too. When we didn't work here and she had to do appointments she say me if I can care for her baby. Sometimes she drop off to Elian wore and sometimes she didn't have time so I bathed him, I wore him, I cooked meals for him, We watched movies or play didactics games. I love him because is so tender and loving.
And finally Gabriela, she is my ex-bosses niece. I went to care for her during her vacations because her mother had to work so while her mother didn't be in her house I cared for Gabriela. Always her mother drops off her dress so I don't need to bathe her. So we only played with toys or didactics games. We watched movies. We practiced writing, painting, and reading.
