Luisa’s Big Problem
Luisa is starting a new job in four days. She was a florist
before she moved to San Diego. Now she’s the new manager of
a neighborhood flower shop.
Luisa has a big problem. She needs childcare for her
children. Her daughter, Alicia, is four years old. Her son, Paco,
is three years old. Luisa’s family lives far away, so they can’t
help her with childcare. She thinks, What am I going to do?
