Let me begin by telling you of my experience. I have raised an infant, a baby girl from the time of her birth as a legal guardian. For the first 2 years, I raised and reared my child Margarette as a legal guardian for my brother who was constantly at sea as a merchant marine. Since that time, I have cared for in excess of several hundred children ages 3 and above of both genders in the capacity of being both their teacher and caretaker. As of this time, I have been a teacher of Kindergarten and Primary grade students for over 10 years in 2 different countries, so I’ve handled more care and responsibilities than what your average person would ever encounter. I just recently finished a Summer Camp with (20) 2 to 3 year olds from many different countries. So with this said, I have encountered just about any problem or situation for children from birth through their primary years. I consider myself, a very kind and nurturing person with not only the experience that I aforementioned, but also my pure love of children. I can supply both personal and professional references that will validate what I have told you. I welcome the opportunity, to answer any questions, and/or concerns you may have. I realized this is a very special time for you and would assert a 110 percent of my time and effort to make this transition as secure, uncomplicated, and joyful for your new arrival. I would treat this child as if it were my own, and would adhere strictly to any instructions, and any guidelines that you would expect of me. I strongly believe, as I’m sure you do, that from the embryonic stages of a child’s upbringing, are fundamental in the type of person they become.
