Look, Jellybean, look.
See this?
This is your soup, okay?
So you got to go home, and you're going
to eat your soup, and take a bath,
and get ready to go to bed,

Okay?
Oh, that's not your thing?
Come here, stinker.

Oh mama, come on, let's put your coat on.

[laughs]
You're humongous.
- Do you think Daddy's going to come
in at like, nine something, or eight?
- [Kid] At, at 10.
- [Nunu] Sometime, it depends on what's going on.
Like, if it's a snowy, nasty day, or a rainy day.
[light orchestral music]
Okay?
'Night.
Did I bring my mop in here?
I think I'm losing it.

You ready?
Come on, baby.
Let's go.
Oh, you're big.
Your stuff is in the bathroom.
There's your towel, you know which one is your toothbrush,
and don't forget your medicine.
I've been doing this for 22 years.

What about that?

We've been working together forever.

- [Pop Pop] We have about five, six different people
that help us out.
Our daughter starts off in the morning,
let's say six o'clock.
I'm usually up by seven, and Sharon comes in at about 11.
- Stomp your feet.
Yay, Sheray.
You got it, girl. - I did.
- Go.
Sit a little closer, baby.
- [Nunu] That's a everyday routine, too, right?
You don't want no more?
I have all different types of families in my daycare.
- [Woman] Good morning.
- [Nunu] I have some that comes in
at six o'clock in the morning that works to 8:30 at night.
I have some that comes from 3:30 to 12:30 at night.
I have some that comes in overnight.
- Bye, Jellybean.
- [Nunu] I see a lot of parents come in and break down.
- Sweetie, you okay?
- [Nunu] They don't want to do this.
But they need to go out and work
and pay their bills, and take care of their family.
- See you later, be good.
All right, I'll see you later.
- [Nunu] All right, baby, have a good day.
Be careful.
This is the way the world is set up at this point.
No-ey, can you get your shoes on?
You all have a few minutes before Mommy come, okay?
Do you want me to tie your shoe?
Don't worry about it, your sister take care of you.
[all chattering]
- Finish? - Hello, baby girl.
How you doing?

"Where were you?"
[laughs]
- It's like, "With the kids."
- They in there having a ball, how was everything?
- Good.
- [Nunu] Did you have a good day, good night?
- Yes.
Good morning.
Hi, Pop.
- Hi, Mommy.
[all chattering]
- Don't forget your bags, guys.
- All right, have a good one. - All right, baby.
- We'll see you Thursday. - Thursday.
- Bye Nunu. - Bye, babies.
This one's too easy.
They're a little harder.
Do you know she's doing two digit addition, up and down.
Um, you guys can start cleaning up.
- Come on, y'all, clean up.
Everybody clean up.
[all chattering]
The mat's in here for the babies,
so they can do their Legos,
and the bigger kids in there for table.
- Guys, get off of the mat real quick.
- Come here, everybody, let's have a conversation.
Everybody, come to me.
Let's have a conversation.
It's called Sharing is Caring.
It's called respect for each other.
You do not jump on each other,
you do not get mad because somebody say,
"Excuse me," or "Can I sit there?"
"Thank you," and "Please."
Okay?
Let's not be rude because we are all friends,
and we all love each other, right?
- Yeah.
- Do we love each other?
- [All] Yeah.
- I didn't hear you.
Do we love each other.
- [All] Yes.
- Okay, well then let's act like that, okay?
Stop kissing this baby.
Stop sucking on this baby.
[laughs]
[all chattering]
Be careful.
- If you can't do it by hand, you turn your sheet over-
- Like I did. - And make sticks.
Very good.
This is backwards, Pooh.
What's seven plus two?
Seven.
How many is that?
- Nine. - There you go, make a nine.
Make sure it's not backwards.
- [Hudson] I don't want to do this page.
- No, but you have to do it, Hudson,
because this is learning your name, okay?
This says Hudson.
- And you have to learn your name before you go to school.
- So this is how you spell your name.
H-U-D-S-O-N.
All right?
So, we want to trace over it, so you can learn how
to write it by yourself, okay?
It's okay to count on your fingers, guys,
it's okay to make sticks if you have to, it's okay.
If you can count in your head, you can do that too,
there's nothing wrong with it.
- How was school today? - Good.
- You met some friends?
- Mm-hmm.
- You have some homework?
- No, I just have to read for 20 minutes.
- Okay, well, I need you to read for 20 minutes.
I need you to go and get a book in there,
and sit in a quiet spot and read for 20 minutes,
and when I come in, you have to tell me what happened
in the book, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, and then I'll give you
a snack afterwards, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- See you in a minute, babe.
I have a Diana, but I don't think you're her bus.
- Chase.
- Chase?
Yes.
I didn't know he was going to be on the bus, today.
- Chase?
- Yes.
Yes, that's mine.
[laughs] That's my baby.
Thank you.
- [Chase] I love you.
- I love you, too, baby.
I didn't know you was going to be on the bus today.
How was school?
It wasn't rough today?
- No.
- How was your day?
- Fine.
- Hm.
How was your day?
- We helped a new kid.
- You helped a new kid do what?
- She was being her friend.
- Oh, and they were scared, and you helped them?
And what did you do today in school?
- Eva and I had a new kid, too.
Eva and I had- - You did?
Okay.
Sure.
You have homework?
No.
So, you going to read for me?
- I want to- - Read a book?
[all chattering]
[humming]
- [Child] We did this.
I told you we did that one,
and then someone broke the window.
- [Child] No, you're not supposed to get
your stuff out of the top.
Like this.
- Oh.
Ready?
Don't break the window.
- Don't- - But you were going too fast.
Don't break the window.
- Don't break the window.
Don't break the window.
- No, then you do this.
- Upstairs? - No, you don't have to do it.
- [Child] Yeah, we do, until somebody breaks the window.
- They broke the window.
- Hey, mama.
- Hi, Mommy. - Mommy!
- Mama, I don't know how I'm going to pull this to the side,
but I'm going to do my best, okay?
You look so tired.
- Been a long day.
It's been a long day, I know.
My days are always long-
- I got up at four in the morning.
- Oh, that's right.
You had to do that early shift.
I forgot all about that.
- I was like, "I have to, I have to."
But my boss is happy.
They love me there.
- [Nunu] Oh Lord.
Now you're going to get that early shift.
- [Marisa] Well, who knows?
The girls ate already?
- [Nunu] Yes, they ate, baby.
- [Marisa] Thank you.
- [Nunu] You're welcome.
Kaja, they're ready.
- Popsicles are gone. - You ate them all?
Oh dear, you're really trying to get me
that insurance money, aren't you?
- [Pop Pop] I had to taste test every one
and make sure they were okay.
- [Nunu] Yeah, Pop Pop, you, you don't listen.
- He ate four. - Pop Pop thinking he's 20.
- Pop Pop eats too much. - He's king.
- He's not just any king.
Nunu's the queen of the house, too.
- [Nunu] That's right.
Actually, I'm the king and the queen.
He's the prince.
- Let's go, Stinky. - I don't want to go.
- [Nunu] She's tired.
Little man, you ready to lay down?
- Yeah.
Good night. - Okay.
- Bye Papa. - Bye.
[light orchestral music]
- [Nunu] Before I got into doing daycare or anything,
I was really a home Mom, I stayed home with my children.
The young lady got into a car accident.
My husband's friend, he asked would I watch her son,
all day, over night, until she came home from the hospital.
I was like,
"Okay, I guess I can do that."
That's where it started from,
and it just worked out perfectly.
Every time I turned around,
somebody was knocking on the door to bring a child.
And I was living in the basement, at the time.
But it didn't seem to matter though, to the,
to the parents, they, just as long as they had good care.
Next thing I know, we end up with enough money
to buy our house, and become daycare here.
It's not just a job.
This is really our life.
My children, ever since they was the age of two years old,
they had to share me with other children.
I remember my children saying,
"Mommy, why do they have to come first?"
Sometimes, my children didn't get
what I had to give to the other kids.
- Hello?
Hello.
- [Nunu] Yes, what's wrong?
You okay?
- One more time.
- Uh oh.
Don't hurt yourself.
You all right?
I never really thought of overnight childcare,
until I had to use it.
- You mean, where I am? - Yeah.
- Oh, and Noah can be over there?
- [Woman] I'm a registered nurse, I work on the night shift,
in a pediatric emergency room, from seven p.m.
to 7:30 a.m.
It was hard to make the adjustment
to leaving my children with someone for about 14 hours.
But I felt secure with Nunu.
- No, pick one.
Jenna, what do you want, yellow or orange?
- Um, orange.
- [Child] You have to put one in the middle, right here.
So, if you have one, you put one-
- [Nunu] Oh my gosh.
Someone's car is on fire.
- For real? - Yeah.
- Can I see?
- [Man] 911.
- [Nunu] Hi, I'm calling because there's a car
on fire across the street from my house.
You okay?
- I feel afraid. - Why are you afraid, Noah?
We called 911, and see, they came.
- [Noah] No kids are in there?
- [Nunu] No, nobody's in the car, baby.
- There's a police, right there.
In the window.
- [Nunu] What is rest?
During a week, when I'm working,
I don't really get a chance to rest.
Like, take cat naps here and there,
but it's not six or eight hours of sleep,
like the normal person, because-
- Um, Jamar said he's doing all right.
- Yeah.
Yes.
Though I'm home and available during the day, I'm tired,
so I feel guilty, because I can't give them more of myself.
Hey, whoa.
[sobbing]
Where's it hurt?
- Right here. - Okay.
It's not easy, but
[sighing]
I just do what I can.
- Come here.
Right there.
Yeah?
- Mama, I just want to stay in class.
- How come you like school?
I don't like school.
- [Marisa] School is good.
That's your future.
- [Woman] Yeah, but I don't like school.
- I don't like school, but I know,
if you don't go now, you're going to regret it
in the future.
- [Woman] Stop playing on Mama's phone.
- I told you,
please do not use my,
[speaking foreign language] please.
Thank you.
[indistinct]
- Sometimes you're at home.
- You know, you're going to laugh when you grow up.
[speaking foreign language]
- Why?
- Because- - Because she wants to.
Because I used to make her mad, and she used to make me mad.
- No, she used to this one makes me mad, all the time.
- [Marisa] I've been working seven days
for almost two months.
I'm very tired.
If I'm not working one job, I'm working another job.
I'm always working, and working.
Just non-stop.
I asked if they would give me more hours,
and they told me no.
The maximum number of hours is 29 hours.
I said, "Why, why?"
They said, "We cannot afford to pay you health insurance."
I want to have one job, that I can spend time with my kids,
and have a house.
That's my goal.
That is very hard, with my kids.
Because I don't get out until like,
11 o'clock, or 12 o'clock.
If I didn't have Nunu, I don't know what would I do.
- [Man] Poppy's not kidding.
- Poppy- - Let's go get in line.
- We'll get in line, before it starts.
Hey guys, let's go.
[all chattering]
- Hey sweetheart.
Oh, hi, baby.
- I'm looking for the group that should be here?
Okay.
Because that's we got to represent,
but I would represent you guys,
because this is my first family.
[laughs]
I want to be with you guys so bad.
- Yeah, right.
How are you?
Hey, how are you man?
- How you doing, man?
How you been, how's everybody?
- Hi Walter, how you doing, baby?
Are you walking with us?
- Yeah, we got, we got four teams going.
- [Woman] Y'all getting ready to be undefeated?
- We got four teams going to Florida.
- Okay. - Yeah, yeah.
- I wish I was on that road, with you.
[laughs]
That would be fun.
- Yeah.
- [Nunu] How you doing, baby?
- I'm okay.
- Good.
Is everything all right? - No.
I have to come to your house and talk to you.
- Okay.
- Like, seriously, seriously.
Like, I need to talk to you.
- Just come then.
It's going to be okay.
Just come then.
Everything will be all right.
Same number, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, I'll definitely give you a call.
- Thank you.
[percussive music]
[laughing]
- Happy Thanksgiving.
[marching band music]
[light orchestral music]
I worry about my mothers all the time.
They don't have that support of somebody to say,
"We're going to make it, it's going to be all right."
- [Pop Pop] There are families out there that need help.
They need a net, financial net, a health net.
They need a mental net.
- The state don't help much,
when it comes to daycare providers.
They don't really give you much.
They just come out, to see what they can cite you for.
They don't want to pay for daycare.
I wish that I had something much bigger,
where parents that really needs this, they can have it.
Because once I'm full, or other providers are full,
then where are those children going?
Where are they going?
I have the pain here, I have it in my neck,
I have it under here and this arm is numb.
This hand is numb.
- You have multiple problems.
For the shoulder, you have uh, tendonitis there.
- Okay.
- That's the reason we are planning
to do the steroid injection, and reduce the pain.
Trying to get used to work with splint,
and then when you work, when you use the computer,
try to keep your wrist straight.
- But it's not the computer or anything,
I'm a daycare provider, so I'm constantly picking up
the babies, and you know, picking up things, and-
- Then you have to be careful.
If you continue to have numbness, you'll need surgery.
- Uh oh.
Okay.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord.
- [Doctor] Try to relax.
Pinch.
[gasping]
[light orchestral music]
- [Woman] Thank you, Nunu, our car ride's here.
- [Nunu] Usually, I go to bed
about two o'clock in the morning,
sometime I go to bed at four.
We take turns and everything, and he let me sleep.
But sometime it's like,
"Maybe we better stop doing this."
And then a parent will call on the phone,
and they'll go, "I'm going through this,
and I'm going through that, and I lost my Mom,
or I have nobody to watch my baby."
That will hit me in my heart, or hit him in his heart,
so that's when the hours will start right back up again.
We'll be doing overnights some more.
Roll your sleeves up.
- Sure.
- So, one hand at a time.
Carefully, just put it right into your mitten.
Don't be scared, it's just paint, girl.
- It's cold. - It's just paint.
This is the fun of it.
Get your hands a little bit dirty.
- Something like that. - Love it.
- These, these-
- [Nunu] I think that's enough, right?
- Yeah, that's enough.
[laughs]
I have enough on my paper.
- [Nunu] That's enough on your paper.
- [Diana] When I started at the daycare, I didn't like it,
because it's been real hard for me to make friends,
because I was very shy.
I was really sad, because Mommy and my Dad got divorced.
- [Nunu] Let the paint dry.
- [Diana] But then I met Nunu, and Pop Pop,
and they helped me so much.
That's when I started liking the daycare.
[laughs]
- [Nunu] Oh my goodness.
All right.
- [Child] Yeah, there's not anything on my hands,
but my hands are still green.
- This is the fun of it. - This is the fun.
- [Marisa] I feel angry.
This is my only break that I have.
During the week, I don't have no lunch.
I spoke to my store manager, he's like,
"But you know, there's a lot of single parents,
they have one job.
You, you could have one job and a normal life,
like everybody else."
And I said, "You guys are not giving me the opportunity
to work more hours, here."
I thought he was going to help me out.
He said, "The kids are not having a healthy life,
because other people are taking care of them.
The kids are going to grow up and hate you."
[light orchestral music]
[speaking foreign language]
- Naima, come get ready for dance.
Naima!
Where's that paper that you started the read-along?
[indistinct]
Noah.
I asked you, where is it?
- Wee. - Noah.
Stop making me call you.
Pick this up.
Go get your coat from wherever you put it
and put it in the room.
If I find it, I'm going to throw it in the garbage.
Leave that alone, that's not yours.
- What is it?
- Not yours.
Why didn't you eat it?
- I don't know.
I'll eat this one, then.
- No.
- I want it.
Can I, Mommy?
- Can you what, Nae?
Please, Nae, leave Mommy alone for five minutes.
Let's go.
[all chattering]
- [Child] No, Mommy.
Please don't go. - It's okay.
Noah!
- Can you put that in your pocket?
- Bye Pascal. - Yep.
[all chattering]
No kissing, Noah.
No girls, Noah.
[laughs]
[all chattering]
- [Girl] You're not taking my pink bacon.
No.
[all chattering]
Where did you get these?
- Noah, don't go in that way.
Go in through the door, please.
What's wrong, Noah-Noah?
The $10 plate.
- Spider-man.
- This is Spider-man.
- I like Spider-man.
- And you're telling me Spider-man is better than Barbie?
- [All] Yes.
- I mean, no.
No, no. - Yes, yes, yes.
- Why, which one do we put on?
- Disney Channel.
- Shell, I need one for Jeffrey.
- [Child] He does not eat, eating his food.
- Nunu said I have to stay in the room to watch you guys.
Oh, you got, you got a piece hanging, right there.
Let me help you-
- Slow it, baby. - That's all I'm asking.
- Blow it.
[blowing]
- Who's in charge, here?
- [Kids] Me.
- Turn back on. - Too late.
How'd you mess up your napkin, that quick?
[laughing]
What is wrong with you?
[light orchestral music]
- You know how you can just meet a person,
and know that it's going to work out in life, for you?
Well, he was just that person.
I met Patrick when he lived over in the projects.
One time, he was fixing my brother's bicycle.
I was doing dishes, and I was looking out the window,
and I seen this nice looking dark skinned guy
coming up the walkway.
I never forget it, with his polyester green pants
and his turtleneck, and I was like,
"I really like him, he's very cute."
And so I took my bracelet off,
and I threw it downstairs at him, and I said,
"You put that bracelet on, because you're going to marry me,
and we're going to have kids."
He laughed and everything.
I found out later, the reason why
he was fixing my brother's bicycle
is because he liked me too.
It just took off from there.
And we kind of feed off of each other.
We need our spirits lift up, too, in order
to be the people that we are.
[vocalizing]
[laughing]
Come here little man, put this on.
We might just go out for you.
Have a good night.
Hold on.
[all chattering]
- [Girl] I didn't do it, it was like that.
- Your hairbrush, please.
Thank you.
Over here.
Go here, please.
[speaking foreign language]
- No.
Peppa Pig.
[laughs]
It's just that I love Pepper Pig.
- Yvette, put your jacket on, please.
- [Yvette] Where's my jacket?
- It's over there in the hallway.
- Oh. - Let's see.
Good.
[light orchestral music]
- Bye Mommy. - Love you, guys.
Bye, Anna.
Love you.
- Mommy.
[laughing]
- Say bye, Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas, everyone.
- [Pop Pop] See you later, big boy.
[laughing]
- [Nunu] I'm the everything person in this house.
I had the overnight babies,
so I've been up for the last 48 hours.
It's been a little rough
because I'm trying to get presents and food,
and different stuff for families
to make sure that they wake up to a Christmas tree
full of stuff, and a nice dinner on the table.
- Hello, Merry Christmas.
[laughs]
I love you.
Oh look, that's so cute.
[all chattering]
- Mama, I want to give you something, for your family.
- Oh my goodness. - Yes!
- Yay, we're lucky, now we have presents.
- Oh my God.
Lego. - Yay.
Me too.
- You're the best, baby. - You are more than welcome,
I love you.
Love you.
[all chattering]
- All right, all right.
- You're more than welcome, though.
- You need prayer, you don't need gifts, you need prayer.
[laughs]
- That need to,
to hold your life. - That's all I want.
- Yes.
- Just ask God to, to take care of me.
That's it.
That's all I'm looking for.
- And keep you healthy. - And keep me healthy.
- Thank you very much.
- [laughs] You are welcome, love.
Make sure you drive safe.
- Yeah, I am.
Very late, as usual.

For a full time job.
That's what I was looking for.

This is a full time job.
What would you think that you would need to make
in terms of hourly wage, for that to be...
- Wow.
I don't want to ask.
I'm not that person who,
I would like just to see what can you offer me?
- Mm-hmm.
Right now, my range is between 11 an hour, to 14 an hour.
So, but do, to earn 14, you have-

- How many kids she say, does she have?
- I don't know.
I didn't ask her about that.
- You got to ask them questions.
- Nunu!
[laughs]
I never had experience.
This is, this is way different.
- They also have classes for you.
- Yes.
- And you have to know, if you get 30 hours of classes,
you can go online, or go to the class, hands on.
If you need for me to show you a few things,
pointers and stuff, I'd be more than happy to help.
And you know, I'm very proud of you.
You've been really fighting to get what you want,
that's for sure.
- I don't give up. - For your little tiny self.
[laughs]
- [Marisa] I love you.
- I love you, too, baby.
I'm very proud.
- I can't believe you still have kids.
- You know I have a houseful of kids.
- Oh please, please.
- Later.
- Bye.
- Be safe. - You too.
- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
- Love you guys very much.
- See you Monday.
- I'll see you Monday.
- See you Monday. - Night night, boo.
- [Marisa] Bye bye.
- [Child] Presents. - Wow.
- Okay, we still didn't, you know,
we still didn't find our special pumpkin.
[all chattering]
Do you, do you think that the special pumpkin's
in the closet?
- [Children] No.
- All right, well, what's in there?
[all chattering]
Oh.
Bats.
Five blue bats are in the closet.
- Come on. - But you guys said
pigs could fly.
- Ow. - Giselle!
Giselle, come over with me.
- But the little pig says, "I will try.
Goodbye."
You will never fly.
Sometimes you need help-
- Okay.
Let's relax.
Lay back and relax.
Let's relax.
Okay, that's going to be it, you guys going
to lay down for your nap, okay?
Thank you.

[laughing]

In your tea, and your fish and stuff, it's delicious.

- It's good for everything.
- All right, you ready? - Let's go.

[grunting]
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
[speaking foreign language]
- Go help her, please. - I'm good, I'm good.
I'm all right.
All right, girls, come on, ready?
We got two set of watermelon plants.
Let me show you how to do this.
See, you take the bottom, and you pinch it like that.
And then you dig your little hole-
- No one asked you. - Make sure you don't
hurt the one that you got in there, though.
Because they're- they don't like to be pushed around.
Ivette, Pull it up again.
Make the hole a little deeper.
A little deeper. - I was about to squish it.
- You squished the bottom, baby girl?
- Yeah. - There's worms everywhere.
- [Nunu] That's, the worms live out here, we visiting.
Pick it up and see.
It's not going to do nothing.
- I don't want to see, I don't want to see it.
Please, no.
- You're scared of a worm? - Stop!
Don't let- - I'm putting it in the box.
Move out the way.
Oh my God.
You're not country, you know that?
- Jelly, before you know it, you end up inside
of the belly of a worm.
- No.
- That's not true.
- Patrick, please leave that little girl alone.
- Patrick- - Stop harassing the kids.
- [Pop Pop] Sure.
- [Woman] There's worms in here.
- Now, one thing we got to do, we got to separate the squash
and the greens, they need their own path.
- Can you help me? - Yeah.
[light orchestral music]
[laughs] I can't even get up.
Okay.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- [Diana] I know that Nunu is very strong,
she cares about other people than herself all the time.
But then, I get very worried,
that if something happened to Nunu.
I just get really nervous.
- [Pop Pop] Okay, bye.
Make sure everybody wash.
- And anybody need to go to the bathroom,
please go to the bathroom.
But you go to the bathroom first, then wash your hands.
No nuggets, just the macaroni and cheese?
You want macaroni and cheese with banana?
- [Pop Pop] Let me know if you need help.
- [Nunu] Yes, I need help.
- Diana, can you help in the kitchen?
- Noah, he want nuggets too.
You got a fork?
Now sit down and go in the room,
because you are driving your Nunu crazy.
- [Diana] I don't want to grow up.
I don't want to pay the rent and the bills, and everything.
I want to be a kid, all the time.
[all chattering]
- [Child] About God, for making the food.
- Who wants bread? - Anyone want bread?
[all chattering]
- Somebody got to, somebody got
to say something about God, for making the food.
Pop Pop.
- Oh, that's right.
Did anybody thank, did anybody say the grace?
- [Child] You guys, pray before you guys eat.
We pray first.
- Did you? - Because I'm not eating, yet.
- [Pop Pop] How about, God is good.
- Me.
God is good.
- [Pop Pop] God is grace.
- God is grace.
- [Pop Pop] And we thank thee-
- [All] And we thank thee.
- [Pop Pop] For our food.
- [All] For our food.
- [Pop Pop] Ah-
- [All] Amen.
- Why you say? - What's that sauce for?
[all chattering]
- Outside in the yard.
- No guys, that's a lie.
- Katie, did you get a drink?
- Hey, watch that word.
- Yeah, that's a lie.
- [Pop Pop] Well, it wasn't, no,
he wasn't calling anybody a liar,
he said I that's a lie.
- Yeah.
- [Nunu] No, the point is,
I don't want you to use that word.
- [Pop Pop] Okay, you can't use that word.
- It's a fib. - It's a fib.
So you can say fib.
- It's all Pop Pop's stash. - Have to clean up.
- [Girl] That's Pop Pop's stash.
- Jellybean.
Jellybean.
When you're done, it's my turn, okay?
- [Nunu] No, we're not doing that,
we're getting ready to go to bed.
But I do have a movie for you guys.
- I was watching "Incredibles 2."
I like "Baby Jack Jack."
- Jack Jack has laser- - I know,
I love "Baby Jack Jack."
- Jack Jack has laser eyes and teleportation.
- I need you to put that back over there, okay baby?
- Jack Jack has laser eyes and teleport-
- Come on, come in the kitchen,
let's have a conversation, all right?
- Baby Jack Jack can turn into a monster.
- All right.
Listen, you know, we're really not supposed
to have the tablets in daycare, okay?
So when Mommy comes tomorrow,
you can use it with Mommy, okay?
All right?
But we can't use that in daycare.
I know you want to play your game,
but we can't use that in daycare, okay?
Don't get upset, don't be mad with me.
Can I have a hug?
Don't cry.
- [Pop Pop] Oh, what happened to my Noah?
- So, instead of you getting the game,
I don't want to bother you, but would you like a Icee?
So, could you not cry?
Because you make me cry.
I'm sorry, I would love for you to play
with the games, but we can't have it in daycare.
Okay?
All right, I'm sorry.
You're going to get a Icee.
Give me a hug, give me a hug.
It's okay.
Feel a little better?
Just a little bit?
Okay.
Would you like to get a book to read?
You want to go look for a book?
Well, why don't you go look on that shelf
and get you a book?
Then you can sit down and read a book.
How does that sound?
Okay?
I'm sorry, though.
Now, I'm down on my knees, you going help me up?
Okay.
[laughs]
Now go get a book to read, all right?
And I'm going to get your Icee in a minute
and we're going to watch a little movie, okay?
For a few minutes.

Going once.
[all chattering]

- [Nunu] Mister man, um, Mister Caller, you have to cook.
- Mister man. - Cooking is overrated.
- Yeah, well, I'm not doing no more, it's your turn, now.
- [Pop Pop] Cooking is overrated.
- My Dad used to cook when- when my Mom was sick.
- [Nunu] Mm-hmm.
That was nice of your Dad.
- And my Dad didn't know how to make it,
he made the rice so hard.
[laughs]
- Can we just be quiet for now?
- One, two, three.
- [Nunu] You know why?
Because I did not make Tutu wait.
- [Character] Where's Wuffy?
Excuse me, um, I can point where Wuffy went,
but you'll need to put me back together again.
- I want to do that.
- [Woman] I guess Wuffy followed the bird monster.
- [Child] Does anybody have to go to the bathroom?
- [Pop Pop] Anybody have to go to the bathroom?
- [Children] No.
- [Pop Pop] All right, finish up
so you can go to the bathroom.
- [Child] Wait, I do.
- Close the door, and wash your hands.
[all chattering]
I don't even know what you said.
I don't even know what you just said.
[all chattering]
Oh, telephone.
Telephone.
Saved by the bell.
- Go talk to Mommy first, okay?
- [Pop Pop] Hello?
There you go.
- Hi Mommy. - Hi Noah, how are you?
- Good. - What did you eat for dinner?
- I ate banana and macaroni and cheese.
- [Woman] Okay, it sounds yummy.
- What is that noise, Mommy?
What say, boop-boop!
[children laughing]
- [Woman] I'm at work, it's the phone ringing.
All right, let me talk to Nai.
- [Pop Pop] She's in the bathroom, big guy.
She'll be right out. - Noah?
- Hi Mommy. - Hi.
How are you?
What's wrong, you tired?
- No, I'm not.
- [Woman] Mommy just called to say goodnight.
- Mommy, what does trouble breathing mean?
- [Woman] Why, are you having trouble breathing?
- No, but, no, but I'm asking you.
- [Woman] How you felt
when you had to come to the hospital, Nai.
- I felt sick?
- [Woman] Okay, Christmas Day, Nai.
You weren't feeling well,
and you went and you laid back down.
Is that how you feel now? - No.
- Okay. - And I felt hungry too.
I was starving.
- You wasn't starving, girl. - Yes, I was.
- [Woman] Because you don't eat any food.
I think you have a corn muffin in your bag.
- Naima. - I ate it.
- [Woman] No, I put another one.
I love you, see you in the morning.
- Okay, bye. - All right, bye.
- Let somebody else talk. - No.
- Do you have your asthma medicine in your bag?
Could you check for me, please?
Oh God, man.
You're so sweet, Noah.
You're a sweet kid.
You make people feel so happy.
- She needs to get some rest, though.
Your Mom got to get some rest, because your Mom
be working, at night time-
And then she get off of work at the morning.
- First she drop me off at school.
Then she takes Noah to school, then she goes back.
Sometimes she doesn't need to sleep.
She doesn't need to rest if she don't feel like it.
- Three, two- - [Children] One.
- Shhh.
- [Child] She need to get some rest.
She's tired.
She need to get some big rest.
Night time, go to sleep, get some big rest.
- [Pop Pop] All right, guys.
[light orchestral music]
- [Woman] What do you get, the epidurals?
- Oh my goodness.
I can't sleep at night, with the pain, you know?
- [Woman] Yeah, that's got to be brutal.
- Oh, man.
That one time, I couldn't even lift it this high.
But now I can go here.
I can't really, I have to take my hand
and comb my hair with, or take this hand
and help lift off the clothes uh,
when I'm putting the sleeve in,
I have put this arm in first, then go around.
You know, when you've been doing things all your life,
you kind of don't think, you just do.
I don't want to do surgery, because I'm doing,
I got too many kids,
and I don't think I have down time to heal.
So if I can get something just to ease the pain,
and just keep on moving.
- Whee.
- I want to do it, I want to do it.
I'll do it old fashioned.
- Oh, don't do it, Diana.
- But I do it like that. - Really?
- Yes, I go like this. - I don't like matches.
- Why? - Don't use that.
Please.
- It's hot.
I just did it. - I didn't know you did it.
Because you're not allowed to use matches.
- But I need the matches. - Well, I'm gonna hide them.
[light orchestral music]
The reality is that I can no longer afford
the daycare for my kids.
It's in the circle, right?
- Yeah.
- [Marisa] The government will not help pay daycare
after 13 years old.
Basically, Diana is over age.
I cannot have my daughter here by herself.
I'm very tired.
I've been on a bunch of job interview,
but nothing has worked out.
At night time, I start crying, when my kids were sleeping,
because I cannot let my kids see me being sad inside.
- I can't reach.
[laughs] That's your weight.
[laughs]
[laughing]
- Back with the other one.
- There's a little one, over there.
- Oh, look at that.
We got some red ones.
Sometimes, you got to put a flower
with the vegetables, for some reason, they just like it.
This is something that I seen my grandmother do.
Here, these are collards.
Let me just grab a couple more.
Let me see how many more is ready.
- Ooh, a big one.
- Yup.
You can take those in the house.
Shake them off, make sure there's no bugs,
drop them in the sink.
Oh, honey, look.
Look, look.
I'm talking about a peach.
Come here, I want you pull one down,
I want to see what it tastes like.
I want to see what the squirrels are tasting.
Oh, that's a big one, right there.
See this one straight ahead, right here in front of you?
That one might be, have a little taste to it.
What are you doing?
- [Pop Pop] You said pull, I want one, too.
- You took a lot.
- These mine, you have yours.
- And you got to wash them off, too.
- God washes them.
- [Nunu] Because I spray the tree.
Thank God for my husband, because we get to work together.
The only thing that bothers me,
is that we don't get a chance
to do a lot of things with each other.
We don't get to travel with each other like other people,
to become a little bit more closer than what we are.
Now that we're getting older,
that part makes me kind of sad.
[grunting]
- [Pop Pop] Don't overdo it.
- I'm not.
I'm not.
[breathing heavily]
[light orchestral music]
[siren wailing]
The pain was so intense, it woke me up out of my sleep.
My head was just hurting that I couldn't hold it up.
And then with my eyes open, I couldn't see nothing.
I knew my eyes was open, but I couldn't see anything.
I screamed downstairs for Patrick.
When I got to the hospital, at that point,
my head was hurting so bad, I wasn't even coherent
to understand what people were saying.
The doctor was asking me,
"Can you see me?"
I was like, "I can't see anything."
I was hearing them tell my husband,
"We have to do emergency surgery,
she had a big mass in her head."
I said, "No, I'm not doing no surgery,
I'm not doing nothing.
Just take me home, I'll be okay."
Pat said, "Lois, you have to get the surgery."
I remember that anesthesia, putting the mask over my face.
For some reason, I thought I was in a casket.
I kept screaming, "I'm not dead yet,
why would you put me in a casket?
I'm not dead yet."
I'm not dead yet, why would you put me in a casket?
- [Pop Pop] You okay?
Scared you, huh?
- [Nunu] I woke up and I was in ICU.
Patrick was standing over me,
with tears in his eyes, and crying.
And he just looked at me, and he said, "Can you see me?
Can you see me?"
I can see you.
Yes, I can see.
I have lost 50% of the vision in this eye,
and I'm not be going to get it back.
The breathing part is not all that good yet,
I'm just starting to smell things again.
I wasn't able to taste,
but now I'm getting taste and stuff back.
Sometime I find myself not remembering things.
I try to make myself remember that
that's where I put something.
But I can't remember that.
Or trying to struggle for a word.
But I can't get it out, the way I want to get it out.
Zoe wanted to come with you?
- [Woman] Uh-huh.
[laughs]
- Hi, baby. - Blanket.
[laughs]
- Blanket, yes.
Yeah, blanket.
- [Woman] You coming back with me, Zoe?
- Look, that Mickey.
- That sure is Mickey.
That Mickey.
- Hi.
- Hi Zoe.
[light orchestral music]
- [Nunu] It's a lot,
but I don't want to feel sorry for myself.
I'm not dwelling on that, because I could have been dead.
Another one, going down there.
That's pretty, yeah.
Sorry, mama.
I would help you, but all that bending
gave me a little migraine headache.
Sometime, things have to happen to you,
in order for you to do something for yourself.
I might have to remind myself, that um, I'm only human.
- I'm scared of losing people, that's my biggest fear.
Nunu, Pop Pop, they're like family to me.
They help me so much, and they love me, so much.

As parents, you make sacrifices.
It's not their fault that I work the way
that I work, so I just find the energy.
Try to give them opportunities that I didn't have.
It's not easy, but you know, eventually, I'll sleep.
- [Interviewer] In all of this, who takes care of you?
- [Woman] At this point, me.
[light orchestral music]
- What happened?
Come on, let's come inside, we going to walk out.
What's wrong? - I don't want to walk out.
- Oh.
Well, walk with Mommy, okay?
Oh my God, look at this, this is going to be so precious.
Look at the problem.
Look at my baby.
You are sure beautiful.
Can I have that dress?
Look at the rhinestones.
- [Woman] Look at me!
- [Children] Cheese!
- Keep looking over there, so people can take pictures.
- Okay, we're doing it right now, give me two seconds
and they're coming out.
Okay.
I can't remember what I was doing.
What was I supposed to be doing?
Oh my God.
Oh.
It's so bad, I my memory is like, I can't stand it.
I can't wait until I get everything back.
[all chattering]
No, it's too little, I don't want to hurt her.
Look at who's laughing.
[laughing]
You're laughing, saying, "Where's my crown, now?"
- [Woman] "You're cutting into my nap time."
- Oh, stop it.

We're about to cut the cake.
Uh, we just want to thank our leader, Nunu.
And we just follow her lead.
We do get yelled at, I definitely want that on the record,
in case something happens to me.
[laughs]
Okay?
But uh, we love her and we're just going to follow her,
and her plan all the way, but we're going
to follow because she has a vision,
and she's doing all of this, and more.
- And your children look absolutely gorgeous,
you should be so proud of them.
Take pictures of your kings and your queens,
and they're going to go on to be our doctors,

Okay? [laughs]

[light orchestral music]
[laughing]
- This work is hard.
I don't want to stop doing what I'm doing,
because I feel like if I lay down,
I'm so tired I might not get back up.
I have to keep on moving.
Because I have something to do.
Okay.
- Thank you, Auntie.
- You're welcome, you're welcome sweetie.
All right?
Am I cheesing now?
- Yes, you are.
