Last summer, LAist gave cameras to 12 child care providers, educators, and caregivers to document their lives during the pandemic. The cohort is a diverse slice of preschool teachers, family child care providers, nannies, and grandparents from across Southern California.
They absorb tears and trauma with a smile. They answer kids’ endless questions and meet shouts of “Look at me!” with loving patience. They are essential, now more than ever.
