I am the Mother of two children who are now on their own,so I understand first hand how it feels to have to leave your child in the care of someone else. I feel with my heart for the parents who hate to leave each day,so it's much more than a pay check to me; this is a calling. I adore my job,and hope I will be doing this a very long time. I've been in the child care field now twenty years,and I have been lucky to have taken care of many different types of children. Twins, triplets, special needs, children with cerebral palsy, newborns, ADD, PDD, depression , the list goes on. Every child is unique in their own way. I have been trained through one on one training with gifted night nurses, through many work shops, and courses, and reading every, and any updated book I may Read more find. First aid and CPR when needed,but the knowledge never goes away.
