We are here to support the parents in Compton who are working hard, and having a hard time. It helps me to help them.
Child care
The kids are aged from two to 10-years-old right now. Some days we have two children and other days it might be seven. They're with us until around 6pm at night. Renaldo Sanders at Sanders Family Day Care in Compton, California. Flowers and hearts help to keep the children happy and uplifted.We have little songs like,"Cover your mouth when you cough and you sneeze. Atchoo! Cough, cough." And we practise hand washing. A parent of twins we have here told us,"oh, my babies are such good hand washers.
The kids say,"we miss being able to run and give you a hug," And you have to say,"well, we're going to do an elbow bump instead." Of course they want to hug, and you see them reach out. Sometimes I have to go to the bathroom and have a cry, because I'm sad that we're unable to do certain things. But we're just figuring out a different way. So I go in, have a cry, and then I come back out and I feel better.
But now, everybody's waving, and so happy to see each other. If people in the neighbourhood see me without the children, they'll say"where are your kids? Are you closed? Are you safe? Do you need anything?" That's such a blessing. Just the outpouring and sharing of that love and concern. I've loved living here all these years, but it's even better now.
