Great question!
I guess my answer would be becoming the private child care giver for the family I worked for over a nearly 20 year period.
I was just with the family yesterday, and let me tell you they are more like family than some of my blood relatives. The Mom and the Aunt to the children were both singing my praises and I felt really good.
Especially with the first child, a boy, the Mom really needed me as she was a single Mom. My husband and I took both kids under our wings as if they were our own. I didn't just baby sit them...we treated them as family, including taking them on day trips and such.
The boy is now 28 and the girl 14.
