Ana Castillo babysits for the children of women taking the green housecleaning class sponsored by SEEC. She says she has had a 6-year-old girl this session who comes with her mother each week. "What I do is play games to make her think — word puzzles, connecting the dots. I ask her to draw something very important to her." Andres Tobar, director of SEEC, says that having a babysitter available makes it possible for many of the women to take the course. Tobar said during one session they had 15 children and had to hire two babysitters.
