Hopefully, for most childcare professionals , it is a love of children that leads them to and keeps them in child care . Some people choose it so they can stay home with their own children. Others do it to help out their community. Still other try it because to them they think it might be an easy way to earn money. It was the hardest job I ever loved.
I had 3 children of my own , and if I got a job in a different field , I would need child care for my daughters. When I looked around at the child-care option available, I didn’t like what I saw. So I got an idea to open my own facility. I love the age of 6 and under , those kids are so innocent and curious and they interact with you and look at you as if you were one of the smartest people on earth. I think at that age children need a positive and pleasant influence in their lives. I like being that person for them. And don’t get me wrong I don’t dislike them once they pass the age 6 year mark, I like everyone at any age but the little one’s are my absolute favorite to work with. So the reason I become part of the childcare profession is because I want to be a piece of the positives in their life ……….. and my rewards in return is feeling fantastic about myself and what I do.
I knew I wanted to do something that made a difference , I just wasn’t sure how I wanted to make one ! Teaching is so rewarding . Everyday you get to influence and change the lives of students you could be the one that opens their eyes to new experiences. Its’ great.
