I truly Love my Job and can't believe how lucky I am to have it! The fact parents trust me with the most important person in there lives! That alone reminds me how important my job is. Each child has it's challenges and some days I really just want to scream. But then one of the children will give me a hug or do something that I never saw them do before and I realize how blessed I am. I have taken care of most of these children since they were 6 weeks old. I watched them learn to sit up, roll, crawl and walk. I have went through their teething and their transition from Formula to food. I have watched them chew on there crayons to learning to actually color with there crayon. Through all there ups and downs there parents allowed me into their children’s lives and I am so thankful.
I often will get tears in my eyes thinking in a few years this group will get split up. They will most likely be in different schools and as much as we try they will not see each other as much as they do now. But I am thankful for these wonderful children I get to love and teach until that point. Some childcare providers find themselves being the only parent like figure in a childs life, me however, I am only a stand in. The parents of the children I watch are so loving and understanding towards there children. They make my job easier and I am thankful.
No matter the long hours I put in, The vacation I feel guilty taking and the constant cleaning I LOVE MY JOB! I love my job because I get to open my heart to 4 wonderful children!
