personal statement- too much information?

Hi everyone! I'm really stuck on the amount of information I should provide on my personal statement - I definitely want to talk about my experience with raising my baby cousin after my aunt passed away as well as how being a preschool teacher and working with a kiddo with Down syndrome helped shape my love and interest for OT. I'm seeing a ton of different examples of personal statements, some are way longer than others, and I don't know exactly how much I should talk about my past... personal statement- too much information?
