I am 42 years old and developmentally disabled. I live at home with my parents because I require living assistance, but back in my 20's and 30's, whenever I had the transportation to do it, I used to be a child daycare volunteer, and I loved it. Even though I'm single and don't want to get married or have any children of my own, I've always had a sincere love for babies and children, and being a child daycare volunteer gave me great joy as well as a purpose, a reason for getting up in the morning and looking forward to the day ahead. Unfortunately, the center where I volunteered my time since October of 1991 closed for good back in 2002, so I haven't been able to volunteer my time for quite some time now. The wonderful memories I have of the children and the staff will live on, though, and I'm hoping that I might one day be able to volunteer my time again soon at another child daycare center, God willing. I've been volunteering my time, and even babysitting, since I was a teenager, even helping out in church nurseries every so often, and each experience has taught me a lot about babies, children, how child daycare centers are run, and myself, which only made me fall more in love with my work every day. I hope more and more people would realize how precious each child is, and if they have the time, find it in their hearts to become volunteers, too. As the old saying goes,"When you hold a child, you hold the future." Hi! I am 42 years old and developmentally disabled.
