The most amazing and rewarding part of my career is being able to see the children grow and learn every day. With young children, they are discovering multiple new things each and every day. Watching a child go from not being able to sit up to running around the yard is the best feeling in the world. Being able to be a trusted adult for the children and have them come to you for emotional support is extremely gratifying. The hardest part of this career is leaving a family if they do not need you any more, or whatever the reason may be. You truly become a part of another family and it is very difficult to leave.
