I have the best job in the whole wide world, in my opinion. Every day I get to go to work and play with 2 and 3 year olds! It is an absolute blast! I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity I have to work with these amazing little kids. Am I a babysitter? Absolutely not. Working in childcare is so underrated. Sure, we watch kids while their parents are working, but it's so much more than that! I get to teach, to instill good habits, to lead by example, to form great relationships, to explore, to "doctor", to nurture, to learn new things, to potty train, but most important: to love and show God's love as best I can.
Along with all of the great things we do in a day come some pretty crazy adventures - For example, yesterday, I picked up a baby, and two seconds later his puke was running down my arm. Today I led one of my boys into the bathroom during a fit of rage/sleep interruption (nap time was over), got his pants down, and then got my leg "pottied" on.
Nevertheless, working with kids is the absolute best thing I can imagine.
I am so thankful God led me into childcare work!
