The welfare nanny diaries: in a debate that revolves around the needs of parents and children, the woman who meets those needs sometimes gets lost.(Cover story)
SANDRA HAD ONLY RECENTLY RECEIVED HER LICENSE to provide childcare, in 2001, when she first came across Khalid and his mother, Tanisha Watson, at the Jesse Owens Playground in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The park had become an afternoon retreat for the five kids that Sandra was supervising, located two blocks from the house she shares with her mother. After working with youth at various agencies for the previous two decades, Sandra had decided to convert the first-floor apartment into a classroom and play area--naming it Kwame's Place after her 10-year-old grandson--and was thrilled with her new job as neighborhood caregiver.
