Children can be endearing, inquisitive and funny, as well as being cheeky and demanding! Whatever the case each child is has there own individual characters and this is what I enjoy and find absolutely fascinating! I have cared for a number of different children, ranging between few months old to 7years old and have learnt that patience and understanding is key to achieving good routines of food, cleanliness and playtime. However, I feel the most important factor is , as with most careers in general, is to actually enjoy looking after children! I find it especially satisfying when I have cared for children on a long term basis as it’s extremely fulfilling watching a child develop and mature. I have done a couple of other jobs when I was younger, but I have realised that it is only child care that gives me the most fulfilment and joy.
