To find out how many beads Betty had at first, we need to subtract the number of beads she received from the total number of beads she ended up with.

First, let's add up the number of beads Betty received from Carrie and Carrie's mother:

283 (from Carrie) + 3805 (from Carrie's mother) = 4088 beads

Then, we subtract this total from the number of beads Betty had at the end:

5028 (total at the end) - 4088 (received) = 940 beads

So, Betty had 940 beads at first.
