Personal Childhood Web

Personal Childhood Web
This is a dedication to my web of love ones
I had many people who nurtured and cared for me as a child, five of them were my grandmother, great-grandmother, my aunt Craig, my sister Naomi, and my gym teacher Ms. Howard.

My mother/grandmother, Mrs. Inez E. King, was my rock and my best friend. She took in all five of her grandchildren into her home after our mother was killed in a car crashed. She taught me to "Do unto others as you would have them to do you." Something I didn’t understand then as a child, but I try my best to live by that phrase now.

My great-grandmother was a great lady as well. I lived with her in Mound Bayou Mississippi for six years after the death of my birth mother. She asked for me to come live with her so she could help my grandmother out with the five of us.

My aunt Craig was my very own fashion stylist. She was the one who made sure I was warm in the winter and styling in the summer.






 My sister Naomi was the one I wanted to be just like. She was in the army and had it going on. I lived with her in Hopewell Virginia after seventh grade to finish grammar school. She also helped my grandmother raise me to be the woman I am today.






 Last but not least was my high school gym teacher, Ms. Howard. Ms. Howard talked to the girls in her gym class like she was our mother. She told us what our parents couldn’t tell us about the birds and the bees. All of these people are a major impact in my present life because they were my village that helped raise me and I want to spread the love that I received to another child.

Children are a bright light into our future. Let's let our light shine.

My passion for the early childhood field derives from watching children walk to or from home or school without proper supervision. I understand that in these times parents have limited resources/choices. I wanted to make a way to provide professional, quality, and affordable services for parents.
