Alice O. Carrillo was born in Arizona. She moved with her family to California where they became migrant workers. “Little did we know we were starting a long journey as migrant workers who followed the sun from sunrise to sundown. We suffered physically, emotionally, and socially. We never had friends we could call true friends. We never lasted at a location more than two months. We never attended school on a regular basis. We were taken out of school to help support the family. Our parents only worried about paying the rent and if we were going to have food on our table.” Alice goes on to earn her Master’s in Child Development & Human Development. She continues to take Latina women out of the fields and help them start their own childcare business with a preschool program at home. She has many Latinas that make $70,000 to $100,000 a year. Alice lives with her family in the state of California.
